US President Donald Trump announced that his administration is close to issuing orders for new military strikes targeting vital infrastructure in Iran, including energy facilities and bridges, in a clear indication of escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. These threats
follow Trump's earlier announcement of a military response against Iranian targets, which he described as "very strong and effective." In a related context, the US military command announced a heightened state of alert across all its bases in the Middle
East, in anticipation of any potential repercussions or field developments following this escalation.
