[Reports say the U.S. military has been ordered to prepare for another attack on Iran] October 8, according to a report by the U.S. "Axios" news network (Axios) on October 7, local time, multiple U.S. officials stated that the U.S. Department of Defense had instructed the U.S. Central Command to complete relevant preparations a few days ago in response to the possible resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran. The relevant instructions did not give a specific date for the attack, and US President Trump has not yet made a final decision. According to the report, U.S. and Israeli sources believe that relevant actions may occur before the U.S. midterm elections, or before the Israeli elections held the previous week. If large-scale military operations resume, they are expected to include large-scale bombings of Iranian energy, infrastructure and nuclear targets. The report also stated that Trump’s national security team held a several-hour meeting at Camp David last week to discuss the possible resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran. The U.S.-Iran negotiations have still not made progress, and Qatar is still waiting for Iran's response to the latest U.S. proposal. (CCTV International News)
