The political situation in the Middle East has reached explosive levels. The US military is ready to launch possible strikes against Iran as early as February 21 of this year. According to CBS News, this time the operation may not be short-term, but turn into a full-scale war that will last for weeks.
Trump's final decision is expected
Although the Pentagon has begun to evacuate some of its personnel in the region to safe areas, President Donald Trump has not yet signed a final order on the attack. The White House is currently closely studying the global risks that military action could pose. Experts believe that this campaign will be much larger and more intense than the 12-day conflict in June 2025.
Did the Geneva talks fail?
The recent indirect talks in Geneva, brokered by Oman, have not yielded the expected results. The Trump administration accuses Tehran of "wasting time and distracting the United States." Washington wants to discuss not only its nuclear program, but also Iran's missile capabilities and support for various groups in the region. However, the positions of the parties are still very far apart.
Israel on high alert
Israel, a key US ally, has already put its defense systems and emergency services on the highest combat alert. A meeting of the government's security cabinet has been postponed to February 22, where it is expected to discuss the impact of the operation on Israel.
Threats and warnings
Tehran officials have announced a firm response to the United States and its allies. They have warned that if Arab Gulf states support a US attack, bases on their territory could become targets for Iranian missiles.
Recall that as a result of the strikes in 2025, Iran's nuclear facility in the city of Fordow was seriously damaged. However, Tehran seems to have further accelerated the process of uranium enrichment. The world community is closely watching when Washington's patience will end and what will happen on February 21.
In your opinion, will this tension between the US and Iran be resolved peacefully or is a major war inevitable?
