US inching closer to all-out war with Iran sooner than public expectations

Washington, Feb 18 (UNI) The US may just be edging closer to a potential war-like scenario with Iran, which, as per officials within the Donald Trump administration, could unfold far sooner than the majority of the American public's expectations.
A US military operation targeting Iran would likely resemble a sustained, weeks-long campaign rather than a limited strike, according to sources familiar with internal deliberations. Unlike last month's targeted action in Venezuela, any move against Tehran would be broader in scope and could amount to full-fledged war.
As per Axios, officials said this would likely involve close coordination with Israel and extend beyond narrow objectives to strike at core elements of Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure.
