Trump Ready to Attack Iran, Strike Force Takes Shape

The US government appears to be preparing an extensive military attack on Iran, strengthening its presence in the Middle East with significant forces, including the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier. Despite the risks of casualties and involvement in a prolonged war, the Pentagon is proceeding with the concentration of a powerful strike force. President Trump, although vague about his intentions, stated that an agreement or military action may be achieved within the next 10 days. National security advisors have decided to keep forces on full alert. Simultaneously, Trump has publicly raised the possibility of overthrowing Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, further escalating tensions. The decision for a possible attack may also be influenced by the completion of the Winter Olympics in Italy.
