The U.S. military is reportedly preparing a new round of strikes against Iranian targets, potentially as soon as Monday, according to The New York Times. Officials say additional targets under consideration include infrastructure, with the scope of the operation still under review.
President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing a range of options, including a potential special operations raid or a ground assault on Kharg Island. The island has been a focal point of previous U.S. strikes, which Trump described as highly precise. “We hit Kharg Island, everything but the oil that’s there we left that one little thing… I said to General, how long will it take?
He said four or five minutes… They wiped out the whole island except they left the nozzle just in case,” Trump said.
During the ceasefire period, U.S. forces have reportedly used the time to rearm warships and attack aircraft, preparing for potential escalation. Officials indicated that the military continues to coordinate with allied forces in the region and to monitor Iranian military movements closely.
The report highlights ongoing tensions as the United States and Iran navigate agreements made during the ceasefire. Sources suggest that delays or reversals by Iran in private negotiations have contributed to increasing frustration within the U.S. administration.
No formal timeline has been announced, and officials emphasized that any military action would be carefully planned to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage. Diplomatic channels remain open even as military preparations continue.
