She added: Trump has not yet made a final decision."
"Axios's Barak Ravid reported earlier on Wednesday that a U.S. military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month's pinpoint operation in Venezuela, sources say. Ravid added that his sources believe the campaign would be a joint U.S.-Israeli effort and would be more existential for the regime than the Israeli-led 12-day war last June, which the U.S. eventually joined to take out Iran's underground nuclear facilities."
The U.S. is moving substantial military assets into the Middle East as talks with Iran continue under the explicit threat of military action if no agreement on dismantling Iran's nuclear program is reached.

Reporting indicates a potential operation could be a massive, weeks-long campaign, potentially joint with Israel, involving aircraft carriers, warships, hundreds of fighter jets, and multiple air-defense systems.
