The Wall Street Journal reports that the US military has drawn up a comprehensive plan for a full-scale war against Iran, which could begin at any moment. The report adds to a series of recent WSJ reports on escalating US preparations for a direct confrontation with Tehran.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the US military has prepared a comprehensive plan for all-out war against Iran, which could begin at any moment, according to a quote circulated by Israeli media. The report, attributed to unnamed sources, has not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
The WSJ has been closely tracking US military preparations. On July 8, the paper reported that US warships were on alert for a potential naval blockade of Iran ordered by President Trump. On June 11, the WSJ described Trump's determination to maintain maximum pressure on Tehran despite economic and military setbacks. The new report suggests a comprehensive ground-up plan, moving beyond specific operational postures.
Broader context: The Zioneer has documented a series of escalations, including US Defense Secretary Hegseth's vow of "powerful and clear" strikes on June 10, and reports of Israel preparing a major air force strike on Iran on June 8. The current report aligns with a pattern of increasing readiness for direct conflict between Washington and Tehran.
