As talks about the possibility of a US strike on Iran intensify, Israel's preparedness is also growing. The picture is as follows: the military is given a signal: "Don't stand still, be ready for action," and various formations are switched to a high-prepared mode. It's not just a "preservation," it's like preparing for a possible war scenario.
If Washington takes action first, it is highly likely that Israel will also participate in the strikes targeting Tehran. Because such operations often turn into joint plans of allies, not alone. In response, Iran is not excluded from targeting not only US bases in the region but also Israeli territory. That is, there is a high risk of chain tension, not "one blow - one answer."
According to the author, if an unexpected agreement is not reached in the nuclear negotiations, the American-Iranian conflict is becoming "close to inevitable." But it's almost certain that such an operation won't be as easy as the rapid scenarios in Venezuela: Iran can be intimidated with pressure, but there's also the experience of resistance in wartime. While the US once demonstrated the possibility of reaching Tehran, striking it, and then retreating, this time it is emphasized that the matter may not be limited to just a few airstrikes.
The biggest change is in the overall mood. Previously, when America gathered strength in the Middle East, many perceived it as another threat, a price increase in negotiations. However, against the backdrop of Trump's second term, the perception that global rules are not "static" but rapidly changing has intensified. Therefore, now even harsh words are perceived not as "just threats," but as part of a practical plan.
In the current situation, there is one truth: tensions can be reduced if each side leaves the "return door" open. But if the parties are not guided by calculation, not by emotion, the region will undoubtedly raise another major wave. Therefore, the most reasonable hope is that negotiations will yield real results, even if only at the last moment, because when war breaks out, stopping it is always a delayed and difficult task.
