Tensions Rise in the Middle East - Scenarios for US Strike Against Iran Intensify

Tensions in the Middle East are escalating, with growing scenarios for a possible US military strike against Iran. The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three destroyers have departed for the region, increasing the US military presence. This deployment is officially justified as strengthening the protection of US bases, but is also linked to growing concerns about the Iranian threat. Simultaneously, the deployment of F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets and the arrival of British Typhoon fighters in Qatar were reported. The CENTCOM commander, Admiral Brad Cooper, is reportedly in Israel for meetings with senior officials. Israeli media reports that Israel considers the collapse of the Tehran regime as the only way to achieve peace, while several airlines have suspended flights to Israel.
