US forces in the Middle East could launch a new, potentially large operation against Iran within 96 hours of receiving an order from President Donald Trump, according to an October 26 BlockBeats flash citing CNN.
Readiness depends on a presidential order
The account attributed the readiness assessment to two US officials. Sources cited in the report said forces already deployed in the region were sufficient for potential strikes.
The flash, relayed via Jin10, describes contingency preparations. It does not confirm that Trump has issued an order or that a new operation has begun.
