The Trump administration has intensified military deployments in the Middle East as nuclear talks with Iran stall, raising fears that a broader conflict could erupt within weeks.
The Trump administration is reportedly closer to a major military confrontation with Iran, with sources saying a U.S. operation could resemble a “full-fledged war” rather than a limited strike. Talks in Geneva between U.S. envoys and Iran’s foreign minister “made progress,” but Vice President J.D. Vance said while discussions “went well” in some ways, Iran has not accepted key U.S. red lines.
U.S. forces have expanded their presence in the region, deploying aircraft carriers, warships and fighter jets. One adviser said, “The boss is getting fed up… I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks.” Officials say diplomacy may have “reached its natural end” if no deal is secured soon.
