"US forces in the Middle East are prepared for any scenario, including defending themselves and the interests of the US. The planning of military actions against Iran is in advanced stages, and the options are adapted according to developments on the ground."

White House spokesperson on Iran:

Air strikes are one of many options on the table for President Trump. However, from his perspective, diplomacy is always the first option.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said the world is seeing the “final days” of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as anti-government protests continue to spread across the country, with hundreds of thousands demonstrating in the Iranian capital of Tehran. “When a regime can only hold on to power through violence, it is effectively finished. I believe that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime,” Metz told reporters today during a two-day visit to India.

President Donald J. Trump in a post earlier on Truth Social directed at anti-regime protesters in Iran, “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met secretly over the weekend with the Exiled Former Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, to discuss the anti-government protests currently raging across Iran, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke to Axios.

US President Donald Trump was asked what he meant when he said "help is on the way" to Iran, and he replied: "You will find out soon."

Additionally, Trump said that it is a good idea for American citizens to leave Iran.

Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar have privately been lobbying the Trump Administration against a strike on Tehran, after the U.S. warned them to be prepared for such an attack, concerned an attempt to topple the Iranian Regime would rattle oil markets and ultimately hurt the economy of the United States, according to Arab Gulf officials who spoke to the Wall Street Journal.

Arab Gulf States fear strikes on Iran risk disrupting oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz, through which passes around a fifth of the world’s oil shipments, with Saudi officials having assured Tehran that they wouldn’t get involved in a potential conflict or allow the Americans to use their airspace for strikes, in an effort to distance themselves from and stave off military action by the United States.

Two European officials told Reuters that military intervention by the United States against Iran appeared likely, with one saying it could come in the next 24 hours.

The Middle East is "on embers": Many Iranian and Arab channels report that the "Kanaf Zion" plane of the Prime Minister of Israel took off from the country, which they say indicates signs of a possible attack on Iran soon.

Now, international news is about Iran. The US is making threats, but it can achieve its goals with Iran only with Israel’s intelligence.

The US can boast of the B-2, but without proper intelligence, it’s useless.

Those anti-Israel Americans should read it twice.
