Media: The likelihood of a US attack on Iran is increasing
Tensions between the US and Iran are escalating, with reports suggesting that a military operation may be imminent as the US prepares to send aircraft carriers to the region.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have intensified, with reports from the media indicating that the risk of a military confrontation is rising. The online publication Axios suggests that hostilities could be close to breaking out, particularly as the US has been deploying tanker aircraft to the Middle East. The situation remains fraught as neither Washington nor Tehran has made progress in resolving their disputes, raising concerns about potential military action.
According to Axios sources, the anticipated US military operation could be extensive and last for several weeks, potentially involving coordination with Israel. This development signals a much broader scope than the previous 12-day air conflict last summer. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran, and he recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, further emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
In addition to diplomatic tensions, Trump has amassed a formidable military presence near the Iranian coast, including the carrier strike group led by USS Abraham Lincoln, already positioned in the region. The deployment of additional US naval forces is expected soon, amplifying fears of a military engagement that might have significant repercussions not just for the US and Iran, but also for broader regional stability in the Middle East.
