The US is preparing for a “major uptick” in attacks in Iran over the next 24 hours, a senior US official tells. The US has assessed that a first round of attacks has achieved the goal of weakening Iranian defenses, and the next phase will heavily focus on destroying the country’s missile production, unmanned aerial vehicles and naval capability, the official said.

The big one is coming soon.”
