The United States and Israel could resume military attacks on Iran as early as next week, with the Pentagon preparing to restart military operations, according to U.S. sources. Negotiations are currently reported to be at a standstill. According to multiple U.S. officials, options under consideration for a renewed military offensive include large-scale bombing of Iranian military and infrastructure facilities and the deployment of special operations forces on the ground to secure nuclear materials. Hundreds of special operations personnel already arrived in the Middle East in March, though U.S. officials have acknowledged that a ground deployment carries significant risks. Furthermore, the U.S. has reportedly resupplied ammunition to its warships and fighter jets in the region since a ceasefire in early April.
