President Trump is now claiming that the world will find out “over the next probably 10 days” whether the U.S. is going to make a nuclear deal with Iran. This, as reports say the U.S. Military will be ready to launch a “weeks-long” operation as early as this weekend, pending Trump approval, and that he is being presented with plans to “kill scores of Iranian political and military leaders.”

Dr. Foad Izadi, an author and associate professor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Tehran, noted that if the U.S. does attack Iran, Tehran is ready to retaliate with strikes on U.S. Military bases and warships in the region. He emphasized that Iran will never negotiate over its ballistic missile program, and that in the event of a regional war, Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports say the Trump Admin is planning for a "major war" that will include "weeks-long" operations against Iran, as the U.S. Military rushes dozens of fighter jets and hundreds of flights of weapons to the Middle East.

But Iran is not alone, and it is actively carrying out joint military drills with Russia and China that temporarily shut down a portion of the Strait of Hormuz.

Stanislav Krapivnik, a former U.S. Army officer, supply chain exec and military and geopolitical expert, noted that if the U.S. does attack Iran, it will be going up against both Russian air defenses and Chinese radar systems. A reminder that the Trump Admin is massively underestimating its opponents...

The U.S. Military is rushing assets to the Middle East, with reports of 50 fighter jets, including F-35s, F-22s and F-16s headed to the region in the last 24 hours, as more than 150 U.S. military cargo flights have moved weapons systems and ammunition to the Middle East.

So, is the U.S. “closer to a major war” with Iran than Americans realize?

The first day of trilateral talks between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine was described as “very tense” with no progress made, according to reports. But that was expected, as Zelensky claims he told the U.S. not to try to pressure him into a deal, and the Ukrainian people feel the pressure as their power grid continues to fall apart after months of Russian attacks targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that while Kiev has been able to launch some localized counter-attacks in the Zaporozhye region, they haven’t made significant territorial gains, and it seems as though Ukrainian troops are more focused on attempting defensive prep for the expected Russian spring offensive, as Winter comes to an end.

Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is calling out the U.S. for its hypocrisy, noting: "The Americans constantly say that they’ve sent a warship toward Iran ... however, more dangerous than that warship is the weapon that can send that warship to the bottom of the sea."

This, as the U.S. and Iran participated in another round of indirect talks, and while Iran's foreign minister said the two sides agreed on "guiding principles" for a potential deal... there is a still a long road ahead, and the U.S. has paved it with military assets in the Middle East.

Representatives from the U.S. and Iran are set to meet for talks in Geneva on Tuesday, amid soaring tensions and an increased U.S. Military buildup in the Persian Gulf. But while Tehran is offering a deal on its nuclear program, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is claiming that that making a deal with Iran is “very hard to do.”

Laith Marouf, a journalist and executive director of Free Palestine TV, recently traveled to Tehran, where he saw firsthand the overwhelming support for the Iranian government in the streets. He noted that now that the U.S. and Israel’s attempt at starting a color revolution failed, they seem to be turning to a full-scale war, and moving closer to the point of no return…

The U.S. military is preparing for "the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran" if Trump orders an attack, according to a report from Reuters. This, as Iran holds military drills in the Strait of Hormuz amid soaring tensions.

Meanwhile, the EU is now claiming that Alexei Navalny, who died in an arctic Russian prison in 2024, was poisoned by a dart frog from South America. Anything to try to draw attention to the Munich Security Conference, I guess?

Trump says "nothing definitive" was agreed upon during his 3-hour meeting with Netanyahu at the White House, and that he still wants to see if the U.S. can make a nuclear deal with Iran. This, as the Pentagon is preparing to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, and many are wondering if Trump's rhetoric is just a smokescreen for the next U.S. attack.

Ret. U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor said he believes "it's only a matter of time" before the U.S. carries out its next attack on Iran, but that it will be a mistake because the U.S. lacks both the air power and the air defenses in the region.

He also pointed out that even if the U.S. engages in a prolonged bombing campaign, that doesn't guarantee any changes on the ground, especially as the Iranian people have already shown that they will increase support for their government when attacked.

President Trump is threatening to send a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East for potential strikes on Iran, as Netanyahu returns to the U.S. for another record-setting visit. Reports also say the Trump Admin is considering seizing Iran-linked oil tankers at sea, in a bid to try to force Tehran into a deal.

But while Iran is engaging talks and offering to make a deal related to its nuclear program, the Iranian people aren’t buying the “regime change” dream the U.S. and Israel are desperately trying to sell. That was made abundantly clear on Wednesday as MILLIONS of people took the streets across Iran to celebrate the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

As Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted, “When we sit at the negotiation table. We are confident that a nation is behind us.”

Netanyahu is making a record SIXTH visit to the U.S. in just over a year, for meetings with Trump, amid soaring tensions with Iran. The Israeli prime minister isn’t hiding his motive either, as he told reporters he plans to “present to the president our approach around our principles on the negotiations.”

In other words, Netanyahu plans to give Trump his marching orders for the next phase of war with Iran…
