U.S. Plans Major Iran Escalation After Week of Clashes Kills at Least 3 Service Members

According to Washington Post, on Sunday, the U.S. is planning a larger-scale military campaign against Iran, with the Pentagon increasing aircraft deployments to the region. The move follows weeks of escalating attacks on civilian and military infrastructure that have killed at least three, possibly four, U.S. service members since fighting resumed a week ago. Trump stated he does not care about Iran's announcement that it will no longer comply with a bilateral memorandum reached a month prior.

A U.S. official familiar with internal government discussions warned that military expansion faces multiple constraints: tightening air defense and long-range ammunition supplies, plus limited capacity to rapidly reinforce the region with additional troops and aircraft due to combat losses.
