Top US general says he presented Trump with plans to hit Iran, military ready to strike if ordered
Against future need — President Trump appears still in negotiation mode.
[IsraelTimes] The top US military commander for the Middle East says he has presented US President Donald Trump with military plans to strike Iran and is prepared to do if so ordered.

“I have provided the secretary of defense and the president a wide range of options,” Central Command head Gen. Michael Kurilla says during testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.

Kurilla was responding to Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama, the chairman of the committee, who asked if CENTCOM was prepared to respond with overwhelming force if Iran does not permanently giveup its nuclear ambitions.

“I take that as a yes?” the Alabama Republican asks, after Kurilla responds.

“Yes,” Kurilla

Having announced there are formal plans.
The LSD's will try to acquire them using their 5th column planted staff.

The plans will somehow get leaked, and the MSM will publish them.

#2 ^ which offers a great opportunity to 'leak' alternate plans to confuse the enemy. Extra cunning points if you use it to track possible leakers.

#3 “I have provided the secretary of defense and the president a wide range of options,”

"In addition to the box of carrots, we have a whole bunch of sticks all lined up ready for use. It's our job."

Contingency planning, it's what the military does. At least when they are not DEIing. Hey, remember back in the day when we used to joke about how the Army probably had plan to invade Canada? I'm so old that used to be funny.

#4 Yes, we have a plan to invade Canada.
The old one was WAR PLAN CRIMSON, I believe.
Today the new one is Trump's.
It won't happen becaue Canada will surrender, but anyway.
Even Fall Grun was more of a parade than invasion.
