JAKARTA - The United States is preparing to carry out a large-scale military attack on Iran, by increasing its military presence in the Middle East.
The Washington Post report quoted a US official as saying that the US was deploying fighter jets and refueling planes from Europe to the Middle East.
"The US is planning a wider war," said a US official who was aware of internal discussions of the Trump administration, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Monday, July 20.
However, the US' ability to conduct large-scale military action is limited by dwindling ammunition supplies, the newspaper's source said.
Previously, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported the deaths of two US soldiers in Jordan. Several unidentified bodies were later found there. A soldier was also killed in Iraq as a result of an Iranian drone attack.
The US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 to end the conflict that has been ongoing since February 28.
However, Washington launched another attack on Iran on July 8 on the grounds of responding to Iran's actions against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran said the attack violated the agreement and launched retaliatory strikes on US bases in the Middle East.
