US EditionEx-CIA officer John Kiriakou claims US plans to launch attack on Iran by 23 or 24 Feb: Report
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou says US forces are repositioning in the Middle East ahead of a planned strike to enforce Trump’s red line on Iran’s missile and nuclear programs.
- Former CIA officer John Kiriakou claimed that the United States has decided to launch a military strike on Iran on February 23 or 24, 2026, despite a public 10-day deadline offered to Iran for negotiations.
- US military personnel are being strategically redeployed across Middle Eastern bases, including in Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, and Syria, amid concerns over a potential direct conflict with Iran.
- Internal US political divisions exist on the Iran issue, with Vice President J.D. Vance and DNI Tulsi Gabbard opposing the attack, while Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff support military action.
- Although there is a public emphasis on seeking diplomatic resolution, some insiders doubt Iran's offers are sufficient to prevent strikes and suggest the timing of recent government disclosures might be a deliberate distraction.
