Trump names Iran targets if fighting resumes

news.mail.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump stated that US leadership has identified targets for strikes on Iran in case hostilities resume. He said aircraft carriers are fully prepared for renewed combat but considers continued fighting unlikely. In a CNN interview, Trump said he doubts military action will be necessary. Iran has repeatedly attacked Israel and several Middle Eastern countries since February, including Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, targeting US military bases per Iranian officials. Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, causing energy prices to surge. A US-Iran memorandum was agreed in June, but another escalation followed.
