Tension in the Middle East. More and more US planes
At the same time, tension is growing in the Middle East. On Sunday, the media, citing experts analyzing satellite data, reported that the United States had increased the number of planes deployed to bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Retired British Colonel Richard Kemp estimated that the largest increase in military forces in the Middle East since 2003 is currently observed.
On Monday, former senior Pentagon official Dana Stroul said the US was ready for an “extremely dynamic” military campaign against Iran. She said the deployment of two aircraft carriers, destroyers, fighters, tanker planes and air defense assets to the region has increased American offensive and defensive capabilities compared to the attacks carried out in June 2025. “It is not about military readiness now, but about a political decision,” Stroul said.
The New York Times reported that a possible limited US attack on Iran could be aimed at Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command centers, ballistic missile bases or nuclear infrastructure. However, according to the newspaper's interlocutors, if these attacks did not bring results, i.e. an agreement on Tehran's nuclear policy, a much broader offensive could be carried out this year, the aim of which would be to end the rule of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Another round of talks between the Iranian and US delegations is scheduled to take place on Thursday in Geneva.
