I hope I'm wrong (and might very well be), but it feels like this shit is getting more and more inevitable.
If not today, likely within the month.
I didn't vote for this. I actually voted against this.

Good point, you can often see more signs faster.
Honestly, I think we have been planning for a while. Look at the sudden strike on Venezuela. This shit has been in the pipeline for ages.
So, I get what you're saying, and it's a good point...but it's also still possible this shit is locked in.
Not really. Rubio was planning an attack for months, not really years. The assets moved into position and had been slowly testing Venezuela's military capacity while Delta was training daily how to raid Maduro's house.
Shit being on paper as a plan is nice, but actually maneuvering into position is a whole different thing.
If the Americans want to pull some black-ops shit; they can easily use CIA SAD guys, along with whatever network Mossad has in-country to conduct bombings and assassinations. TBH, some decent snipers could wreck havoc on police & militia shooting protestors if that was the primary concern. Libyan militias were actually famous for this, and the earlier parts of the coup in Ukraine had similar tactics. Snipers can stall armor, so there's plenty of shit that can be done to protect the protestors, or even collapse the government, without airstrikes.
"Surely the US doesn't give a shit about the Iranians on the ground."
little bit from column a, little bit from column b. Building rapport with the locals helps a lot in any military effort, and smoking a piece of shit who's machine gunning civilians gains you quite a few points.
I never said years. I said "ages." Which is ambiguous. Point is, it's possible that, just like with Venezuela, we have sneaky Iran attacks in the tubes. The admin has clearly wanted this for some time. Considering they clearly wanted both, it's likely at least potential Iran attacks have been planned just as long as the Venezuela attacks, and so are ready to go whenever they pull the trigger.
Honestly, it would be more surprising if we didn't have Iran attacks at the ready, considering the dialogue coming out of the Whitehouse.
I get the impression that they expected the protest gayop to be more successful. It sounds like Iran was better at jamming Starlink than they expected, and that is disrupting the gayop.

That said, they might just attack anyway. Key is looking out for carrier movements. If they start moving, expect something pretty big.
It would be impossible that nothing's drawn up. The question is more about what's actually ready. Getting operators in is easier than moving ships and aircraft. We had CIA SAD guys in Afghanistan within 5 days of the 9/11 attacks. But, the navy was so out position that normal air strikes wouldn't be available for over a month.
The Ayatollah is ready to leave for Russia. His planes are full of gold.

You haven't answered the question, mohammad
Journalist: "I need to write something, please help me."
Guy in S-2: "Here's an obvious thing that any idiot would do in his situation."
Journalist: "That's perfect. Now back to doing fent and killing puppies."
I don't know that he's ready to leave, but it would behoove him too. I like the idea that him and Assad are going to play HOI4 together.
