US EditionThe US Could Strike Iran. Here’s How Tehran Is Getting Prepared
The U.S. has deployed multiple carrier strike groups to deter Iranian retaliation while Iran prepares a written proposal during ongoing indirect talks in Geneva, officials said.
- On Tuesday in Geneva, Iranian negotiators agreed to draft a written response to U.S. concerns after indirect talks, while the U.S. positioned warships including the USS Gerald R. Ford.
- Iran's rapid fortification of nuclear and missile sites prompted U.S. concern as it seeks a deal to avoid a lengthy, risky military commitment in the Middle East.
- U.S. officials say forces could be ready by the weekend, with full military readiness possible by mid-March, enabling anti-missile defenses for Israel and Jordan.

- The strategic balance now hinges on whether diplomacy absorbs the pressure from military readiness, as analysts say this convergence could drive the region toward negotiation or open conflict.
