US Defense Secretary Mark Esper indicated potential military action against Iran, stating that strikes on significant Iranian facilities are planned. This statement followed remarks by President Trump expressing intent to aggressively attack Iran. Esper confirmed the US intends to act on those words, suggesting an attack could occur before 6 AM Japan time on November 11th. The comments were made during a visit to US Central Command headquarters. This escalation follows a period of heightened tensions between the US and Iran. No specific targets were identified, but Esper’s language suggests a deliberate and forceful response. The announcement raises concerns about a potential widening of conflict in the region.
