The United States is reportedly set to launch large-scale military operations against Iran within 96 hours on the orders of President Donald Trump. CNN reported this, citing two U.S. officials. According to the sources, sufficient U.S. military forces have already been deployed to the Middle East for potential strikes.
Against the backdrop of the current turmoil and on the eve of elections, will the U.S. take this risk? Which countries could become targets in this war?
Speaking to Globalinfo.az, international relations expert Aziz Alibayli said the report looks more like a bluff:
“Because even if the United States strikes Iran, there is no guarantee that the outcome will be as it was before. On the other hand, in the event of strikes, one must also consider how the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi, and Hamas will react to the process alongside Iran. In that case, the confrontation could turn into a full-scale war, ultimately taking on the character of hybrid warfare.”

The expert stated that an impact on the election results from such a confrontation cannot be ruled out either:
“Therefore, our assessment is that the likelihood of military operations commencing is high after the election is held on the 3rd and initial results are announced.”
