It was a clear signal that the White House administration was preparing for a high-intensity conflict. President Donald Trump had previously warned that the United States is “ready to attack”, and Saturday’s strikes – which led to the death of the supreme Iranian leader – turned this display of force into a military operation with a declared objective. On Sunday, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), the military structure responsible for American operations…
