Summary

The Pentagon instructed U.S. Central Command to finish preparations for resuming major combat operations in Iran, U.S. officials said. No date has been set and President Trump has not made a final decision, though U.S. and Israeli sources say action could come before U.S. midterm elections. A White House official said Trump "has all options available at any time."
