Tehran Gears Up for a Possible Second US Strike
Iran has prepared a new set of tactical moves in case the United States launches fresh military attacks. An Iranian military source confirmed this, responding to reports about Washington’s renewed strike preparations. The Pentagon has reportedly drawn up a fresh target list inside Iran. This list would be used if President Donald Trump decides to resume offensive operations against the country. Trump, speaking on Sunday, pushed Iran to move faster on a deal warning that time is running out.
“We have prepared new tactical actions and approaches based on our defense-offense doctrine. In terms of weapons and defense capability, we have no problems,” the source stated.
