It appears that an escalation between the United States, Israel, and Iran is drawing ever closer.
A U.S. official told Kann that CENTCOM has warned the IDF to prepare for the possibility of a renewed full-scale war against Iran "in the near future."
According to the same official, similar warnings were also issued to Gulf states, urging them to raise their alert levels and actively prepare, a step they have, in fact, already been taking for months.
Meanwhile, another significant indicator is the expected arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Arabian Sea in about 2–3 days, this means that, as of this weekend, there will be three aircraft carriers deployed in the Middle East.
Furthermore, the rhetoric within the U.S. administration appears to have shifted notably, as evidenced by a recent statement from President Trump, in which he remarked: "We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed."
