It appears that we could soon witness a very serious escalation in the Middle East. As you will see below, President Trump is strongly considering “full-scale military operations” against Iran that would be “far more intense and extensive” than we have seen over the past couple of weeks. Since fighting has resumed, the U.S. has primarily been hitting targets in southern Iran along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. This obviously hasn’t moved the Iranians in the right direction at all. Instead, the Iranians have escalated matters by targeting civilian infrastructure, and now the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has been closed by the Houthis. So now Trump has a decision to make. He could back down and try more diplomacy, or he could take the war against Iran to the next level.

According to Fox News, Trump is expected to make the decision on whether or not “to expand military operations against Iran” soon…
President Donald Trump is expected to decide in the coming days whether to expand military operations against Iran and return to full-scale combat, senior U.S. officials told Fox News on Monday.
The officials stressed that no final decision has been made.
If Trump orders a return to full-scale military operations, the campaign would be “far more intense and extensive” than the nine consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes that began July 7, which have primarily targeted Iranian military assets linked to operations around the Strait of Hormuz, the officials said.
Preparations for an expanded campaign are already well underway.
In fact, more U.S. aircraft are being deployed to the region in anticipation of Trump’s decision…
According to Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, U.S. Central Command, (CENTCOM) would likely increase its military posture by deploying additional fighter aircraft, including F-16s and F-35s, as well as KC-135 aerial refueling tankers, in preparation for any decision by Trump to widen the campaign.
The official also confirmed reports of additional U.S. military aircraft moving into the Middle East, describing the deployments as “preparatory” while military planners await a final decision from Trump.
Of course my readers already knew this.
