Al Jazeera, citing The Hill, says CENTCOM has strike options on Iran ready for White House approval

Al Jazeera reported Sunday that The Hill said US Central Command has prepared options for renewed strikes on Iran, including plans shown to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with some reporting focused on action after the November 3 US midterms. The same report said President Donald Trump on Saturday suggested a strike could come as soon as "tomorrow" while also leaving open a deal with Tehran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused Washington of derailing talks but said negotiations should continue. The reported plans are not an order to attack.
