US and Israel's plan leaked: All eyes on that date for an operation against Iran! Thousands of soldiers are standing by...

It has emerged that the US and Israel have intensified their preparations for the possibility of launching new military operations against Iran in the coming weeks. According to sources close to the region, the two countries are engaged in the most comprehensive preparations since the ceasefire came into effect.

According to a report by The New York Times, potential attack plans against Iran include not only striking military facilities and infrastructure targets, but also special forces operations aimed at reaching Iran's nuclear materials. Officials report that if US President Donald Trump decides on military intervention, American and Israeli forces in the region are awaiting instructions for various operational options.

SPECIAL FORCES CLAIM

Sources who maintained their anonymity claimed that a portion of special operations forces were sent to the Middle East in March for special missions, and that this step was taken to provide Trump with a military option. Experts, noting that this potential operation carries the risk of serious loss of life, point out that achieving rapid success is quite difficult for the US and Israel.

THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS STANDING BY

According to information obtained regarding the preparations in the region, it was stated that approximately 5,000 American Marines and about 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division are in position to participate in a possible operation. It is suggested that these soldiers could be used to seize materials at nuclear facilities in the Iranian city of Isfahan in the event of an intervention.

KHARK ISLAND SCENARIO

On the other hand, sources also brought up plans by US and Israeli forces to take control of Khark Island, one of the most important points for Iran's oil exports. However, it is also reported that more military reinforcements might be needed on the ground for such a land operation to be carried out successfully.

REGIONAL BALANCES ARE BEING DEBATED

It is assessed that the US-Israeli alliance making such comprehensive military preparations could seriously affect the current balances in the Middle East, and that such an intervention could both shake stability in the region and cause widespread repercussions in the international arena.
