The U.S. Pentagon has commenced preparations for the possibility of a prolonged military campaign against Iran. This military initiative could occur if President Donald Trump were to order an attack, marking a potential escalation in the already strained relations between the United States and Iran. U.S. officials have disclosed to Reuters that the military plans anticipate sustained operations over several weeks, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the implications for both nations.

In conjunction with these military preparations, President Trump has intensified his political rhetoric regarding Iran. During a recent statement, he suggested that regime change in Iran would be the best possible outcome, marking one of his most explicit affirmations in favor of replacing the current clerical leadership in Tehran. Trump criticized the Iranian authorities, suggesting that their prolonged tenure has resulted in significant loss of life and unrest.

While Trump did not specify whom he would like to see lead Iran following a regime change, he indicated that there are potential candidates. This political stance indicates a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Iran and raises questions about the implications of military intervention, including potential geopolitical fallout and humanitarian concerns in the region.
