US Military Prepares for Potential Weeks-Long Operations Against Iran

The US military is preparing for potential military operations against Iran, which could last for several weeks, if Donald Trump gives the signal. This comes from statements by two anonymous US officials to Reuters. Simultaneously, US and Iranian diplomats held talks in Oman, however, Trump expresses doubts about reaching an agreement, emphasizing that only a “right deal” can prevent an attack. The tension is escalating with the deployment of a second aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to the Middle East, reinforcing the already strong US presence in the region. Trump, speaking to military personnel, stressed the need for “fear” to force Iran to change its behavior, recalling the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in June. The situation is exacerbated by Trump's statements, which link the avoidance of an attack to reaching an agreement that satisfies US demands. The US side appears to be insisting on an agreement that significantly limits Iran's nuclear program and addresses its concerns about regional stability. Overall, the situation in the Middle East is tense and the possibility of military conflict remains real, depending on developments in diplomatic efforts and decisions by the US government.
