US reportedly ready to strike Iran within 96 hours of Trump's order

The Jerusalem Post·26 October 2026

The Jerusalem Post reports that US forces are positioned to strike Iran within 96 hours of a presidential order, while Israel presses for a joint attack. President Trump has reportedly not made a final decision on major action after the US midterms, and officials describe any operation as "a big effort". The report rests on unnamed officials, but a possible joint US-Israeli campaign would move the Iran confrontation toward wider regional war, directly involving Israel and its principal adversary.
