A U.S. Department of Defense official told Fox News late Saturday that the United States is prepared for a full-scale war against Iran, and that President Donald Trump has ordered several 'deadly and dangerous' strikes against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in recent hours, according to the report.
The statement comes amid a rapid escalation between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, the White House indicated that Trump was weighing an immediate large-scale attack on Iran, including energy infrastructure. Later Saturday evening, the IRGC declared its highest alert level, threatening regional states hosting U.S. forces with 'total destruction' if any aggression originates from their territory.
The DoD official's remarks, reported by Fox News and now circulating in Hebrew-language channels, mark the most explicit confirmation yet of a U.S. shift toward a broader strategic offensive against Iran. The report did not specify the timing or scope of the ordered strikes, and the information remains unverified by independent sources.
