WASHINGTON: Senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter, a sign that Washington is assembling the infrastructure to directly enter a conflict with Tehran.
The situation is still evolving and could change, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private talks.
Some of the people pointed to potential plans for a weekend strike.
Top leaders at a handful of federal agencies have also begun getting ready for an attack, one person said.
President Donald Trump has for days publicly mused about calling for such a strike on Iran, which has been engaged in a war with Israel for nearly a week.
