Iran Says It Prepared Comprehensive Response to Possible U.S. Strikes

Iranian security officials said they had prepared a comprehensive response plan for what they described as possible American recklessness. The statement followed reports that President Donald Trump had ordered new strikes intended to force Tehran to surrender, while another U.S. account said no final strike order had been given. Separate reporting said the United States and Israel were considering attacks on Iranian energy and infrastructure targets, potentially as soon as the weekend. The accounts agree that military escalation was under active consideration but conflict on whether Trump had already authorized it.
