US preparing for potential weeks-long military campaign against Iran: Report

The US military is planning for a potential sustained, weeks-long campaign against Iran should an attack be ordered. Tensions have escalated with the deployment of a second US aircraft carrier to the Middle East, bringing thousands more troops to the region. American officials warn that a US strike could trigger significant Iranian retaliation and risk a prolonged regional conflict. The potential US attacks would reportedly target not just nuclear infrastructure but also Iranian state and security facilities.
