US forces ready to strike Iran within 96 hours of Trump order

Multiple Korean outlets report, citing CNN and two US officials, that the US military has completed troop deployments and is prepared to launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours of a direct order from President Donald Trump. Targets would include radar and missile launchers that could be quickly rebuilt, and a strike is considered likely after the November 3 midterm elections. A US envoy, Tom Barrack, said a strike could occur as soon as this weekend, though Trump has not made a final decision. Korean media frame this as renewed risk of all-out war in the Middle East after a lull.
