NEW YORK: US military officials have compiled a new list of military targets in Iran in case Washington resumes operations, NBC reported, citing sources.
Sources said the list includes heavily fortified sites requiring significant effort to strike due to their concealed locations and high level of protection. However, the Pentagon’s move does not indicate imminent strikes, the broadcaster highlighted. Any attack on the listed targets will depend on US President Donald Trump’s political decision regarding negotiations with Iran.
The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. On April 7, US President Donald Trump announced a "double-sided" two-week ceasefire with Iran. On April 11, the parties held several rounds of talks in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. According to both Tehran and Washington, they were unable to agree on a long-term solution to the conflict due to multiple disagreements.
On April 21, the US president announced plans to extend the ceasefire with Iran. On May 19, Trump said the US was ready to give diplomacy a chance, postponing military operations until the beginning of next week.
On May 23, the US leader stated that an agreement had been largely negotiated, but he said the following day that the sides had not yet reached final agreements on several issues.
