The administration of US President Donald Trump is closer to launching a major military operation in Iran than many Americans imagine.
“Elchi” reports with reference to “Axios” portal.
According to the publication, military operations may begin very soon. The United States will carry out a larger operation than in Venezuela, involving significant forces of its own and its allies.
“The boss is running out of patience. Some people around him advise him to avoid war with Iran, but I think there is a 90% chance that we will see military operations in the next few weeks,” one of Trump’s advisers said.
It was emphasized that the possible operation will resemble a major war in its scale, it will include aircraft carriers, warships, hundreds of fighters and air defense systems deployed in the Middle East.
According to experts, American and Israeli military personnel may conduct a joint large-scale operation, which will seriously affect the region and become a major event on the international stage.
The portal noted that in the last 24 hours alone, another 50 F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighters have been sent to the Middle East. It was also reported earlier that the US has increased the number of its warships in the Middle East to 13.
“Everything depends on Trump. But all indications are that if negotiations fail, he will pull the trigger,” sources claim.
The increase in tension is also reflected in the economy: according to experts, oil prices have increased significantly in response to news about a possible military clash between the US and Iran, as the risk of supply disruptions through important sea routes has increased uncertainty in the markets.
