The US military is preparing for an operation against Iran that could last for weeks. A strike order from President Donald Trump is expected for this.
Medianews.az, citing Axar.az, reports that two unnamed US officials told the "Reuters" agency this.
According to the officials, this operation could escalate into a more serious conflict between countries.
The agency noted that the officials' statement indicates increased risks for the currently ongoing diplomatic process between the US and Iran.
The officials say that this time the planning is more complex. One official stated that during a sustained operation, the US military could strike not only nuclear infrastructure but also the Iranian government and security facilities.
The officials refused to provide specific information.
