The US military is preparing for the possibility of sustained operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two US officials told Reuters.
The planning could extend beyond nuclear sites to Iranian state and security facilities, with officials expecting potential Iranian retaliation and a back-and-forth exchange of strikes, Reuters reported.

“President Trump has all options on the table with regard to Iran,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said.

The report comes after US and Iranian diplomats held talks in Oman.
Reuters also reported the US ordered a second aircraft carrier strike group to deploy to the Middle East.
