US military prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, but Trump has yet to make a final call, sources say
The U.S. has deployed two aircraft carriers, dozens of warships, and over 30,000 troops near Iran for a potential campaign lasting weeks, sources say.
- On Wednesday, the US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, while President Donald Trump has not made a final decision and is polling advisers.
- On Tuesday, Iranian and US negotiators exchanged notes for three-and-a-half hours during indirect talks in Geneva, while Iran's top negotiator said they agreed on a 'set of guiding principles' and Karoline Leavitt said more details are expected in the next couple of weeks.
- Military officials report a recent flurry of air and naval buildup including the USS Gerald Ford carrier group, while US Air Force assets based in the United Kingdom reposition closer and satellite imagery shows Iran fortifying nuclear facilities, the Institute for Science and International Security found.
- Public and congressional support for a strike remains limited as White House officials say diplomacy is the first option but military options are still on the table, fueling fears of conflict.
- Karoline Leavitt said Iran will provide more negotiating details in the next couple of weeks, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to update Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 28.
