Former US President Donald Trump has warned that a much larger military operation against Iran could soon take place, saying that “the big one is coming” as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.
Speaking about the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, Trump said that current military strikes were only the beginning and that a more powerful phase of the operation could follow.
According to reports, US forces have already carried out extensive airstrikes on Iranian military targets as part of a campaign aimed at weakening Iran’s missile capabilities, naval forces and potential nuclear programme.
Trump told journalists that the United States had not yet launched its most intense attacks. He said the operation was progressing successfully but warned that a larger wave of military action could be deployed soon.
Military analysts say the United States has been using some of its most advanced aircraft during the conflict, including long-range strategic bombers capable of carrying large quantities of missiles and precision weapons.
Among the aircraft used in US operations are heavy bombers designed for long-range strikes. For example, the B-52 Stratofortress is a strategic bomber capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds of weapons and striking targets thousands of miles away.
The escalating conflict has already spread across several parts of the Middle East, with Iran launching missiles and drones at US and allied targets while the United States and Israel continue airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
Officials say the goal of the campaign is to destroy Iran’s missile production systems, naval capabilities and nuclear infrastructure while preventing further attacks on US forces and allies.
However, the situation has raised concerns among international leaders who fear that the conflict could widen further and destabilise the region.
