US Officials See Possible Short, Intense Iran Conflict, CNN Says

CNN says U.S. officials assess that renewed conflict with Iran would be short-term but intense, with strike plans prepared in coordination with Israel.

CNN reported, citing U.S. officials, that any renewed conflict with Iran would likely be short-term but intense. The assessment points to a rapid escalation rather than a prolonged engagement.
