From the linked article:
U.S. defense officials are preparing for a longer-lasting military operation against Iran if President Donald Trump orders one.
Current planning envisions a campaign that could stretch for weeks. [Months? Years? - JB]
This would represent a significantly more serious level of engagement than previous confrontations between Washington and Tehran.
The preparations arrive amid ongoing diplomatic talks and heightened tensions in the region.
While military planners refine options for a prolonged campaign, U.S. envoys and Iranian representatives are meeting in Geneva for nuclear negotiations, with mediation by Oman. These talks aim to revive dialogue over Iran’s nuclear program, even as both sides stake out firm positions.
Comment:
Bad idea for the US to give Iran time to prepare for attack.
Will Iran make promises they have no intention of keeping? I think so.
Will President Trump be deceived by them? I hope not.
