The American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed that US commandos are operating inside Iran selecting sites for future air strikes.
In the latest edition of the New Yorker, Hersh says intelligence officials have revealed that Iran is the US' "next strategic target".
Hersh says that American special forces have conducted reconnaissance missions inside Iran for six months.
Potential targets include nuclear sites and missile installations, he says.
They have been aided by information from the government of Pakistan, Hersh adds.
He reports as well that American special forces units have been authorised to conduct covert operations in as many as 10 nations in the Middle East and South Asia.
