Three carriers and a three-day strike plan: US builds up forces against Iran
The Pentagon has drafted options for a three-day campaign against Iran, and three U.S. carriers will be in the region by late October for the first time since 2003, the New York Times reported. Trump said there would be no attack before Nov. 3.
The U.S. is assembling its biggest naval force near Iran since 2003. By late October, the carriers Theodore Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush and George Washington are expected to operate in the region at once, with more than 20,000 sailors and Marines and hundreds of aircraft, according to the New York Times.
Pentagon planners have also prepared options for a roughly three-day campaign against the IRGC’s rebuilt missile launchers, stockpiles and drone infrastructure.
Interceptor worries
Officials are worried about shrinking interceptor stocks after Iran attacked at least 13 ships in the Gulf since September. Trump, however, said the U.S. would not attack Iran before the Nov. 3 midterms.
