On March 6, in an interview with Fox Business, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that strategic targets had been targeted for this decisive offensive. "The bombing will target missile launchers and Iran's most important weapons factories," he declared.
According to the plan, the operation is scheduled to begin on the night of March 6 (US time), around dawn on March 7 Iranian time. This is the most risky time when strategic bomber squadrons begin to enter target airspace.
The public disclosure of the large-scale attack plan shows that the US is stepping up the "Lion roaring" campaign that began on February 28. The White House affirmed that airstrikes are a necessary step to eliminate the threat from Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Previously, surprise attacks on Tehran killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and many senior officials, pushing the Iranian government into a state of power paralysis and forcing the Interim Governing Body to meet in shelters.
In response to pressure from the US and Israel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a series of missiles at US military bases in the Gulf region, causing casualties to at least 6 soldiers in Kuwait. However, the bombing that Mr. Bessent just announced is expected to be the "last blow" to completely break Iran's retaliation capabilities.
Military analysts believe that the mobilization of all air force firepower shows that the US wants to quickly end this military campaign to avoid a prolonged stalemate in the Middle East.
The heat from this attack plan immediately shook the global energy market. Iran is currently threatening to sink all oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz if the bombing takes place, causing world oil prices to skyrocket to record levels.
Asian powers are currently closely monitoring every move from the Pentagon, because any mistake in this campaign could lead to a global energy crisis, collapsing the global supply chain of goods.
