What happened
The Pentagon instructed US Central Command to complete preparations for resuming major combat operations in Iran. No specific launch date has been set, and President Trump has not made a final decision regarding strikes against Iran.
Why it matters
If major combat operations resume, they are expected to include massive bombing of Iranian energy and nuclear targets. This could hit oil supply and increase the threat to Gulf shipping and flows through Hormuz, potentially driving up crude prices and inflation concerns.
The US military is currently developing strike options against Iran.
