US warns of 'largest bombing campaign' in Iran ever, tensions at peak

Tensions in the Middle East are increasing. In such a situation, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hinted at a major military attack against Iran. He said that the United States may launch the largest bombing campaign ever against Iran on Saturday (March 7) night.

In an interview with US media outlet Fox News, Scott Bessent said that the main target of this possible military operation will be Iran's missile launch sites and missile production factories. He claims that a major strike on these facilities will significantly weaken Iran's military capabilities.

He also said that the US has already planned to disable Iran's missile infrastructure and this goal will be of the utmost importance in a possible attack. According to him, weakening Iran's missile capabilities will also have a major impact on the regional security situation.

In the interview, Besant also accused Iran of "trying to create economic chaos." In this context, she mentioned Tehran's influence over the important energy trade route Strait of Hormuz. Analysts believe that if tensions arise around this sea route that is very important for the world's energy supply, it could have a major impact on the global economy.

Meanwhile, after the news of this possible attack was released, there has been renewed concern in the international community about the security situation in the Middle East. According to analysts, if such a major military operation is really carried out, it could widen the regional conflict and increase instability in the entire Middle East.
