KABUL: The U.S. Department of War is reviewing plans for potential strikes against Iran that could be carried out before the U.S. midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the report, a new strike group, including an aircraft carrier and accompanying U.S. naval forces, is currently heading toward the Middle East.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials told Axios that under new Pentagon plans, Washington would launch heavy strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities if hostilities resume.
The developments come after U.S. President Donald Trump previously said that the United States would not attack Iran before the midterm elections.
