The US military is preparing options to resume large-scale military operations against Iran, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing US officials, as President Donald Trump has yet to decide whether to return to war. According to the report, the US military preparations are focused on developing options that would allow operations against Iran to resume on a large scale.

Trump has not decided whether to return to war

These moves remain among the options being considered by the US military, while a shift to war depends on a decision Trump has not yet made. The newspaper attributed the information to US officials, and the account did not include any official announcement that new military operations had begun.

The US president’s failure to make a decision means that the possibility of returning to war remains among the options, according to the report, rather than constituting a final decision to proceed.
