US Preparing to Escalate Strikes on Iran Within 24 Hours, Senior Official Tells CNN

A senior U.S. official told CNN that the United States is preparing to intensify strikes on Iran within the next 24 hours. The official said the initial wave of attacks successfully degraded Iran's air defenses, and the next phase will focus on targeting missile production facilities, drones, and naval assets. The official also warned that U.S. missile stockpiles — particularly Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles and SM-3 interceptors — are running critically low.
