The United States and Israel could be on the brink of a major military operation against Iran that might begin “very soon", according to a report by Axios.
Sources familiar with the situation say the plan would be far larger in scope than last year’s 12‑day conflict and could last for weeks if it goes ahead.

Officials cited by the news outlet told Axios that the operation would likely involve a joint effort with Israel, and that it would mark a major escalation in regional military tensions.
