Iran is preparing for a full-scale war with the United States.

Citing senior Iranian government sources, the media reports that Iran has repeatedly said it will not hold talks with the United States. With no apparent way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it is believed that U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to begin a war against Iran.

The U.S. president has reportedly held a series of secret emergency military meetings at Camp David. These meetings are said to be related to issuing an order to begin an attack on Iran.

Meanwhile, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, concluded yesterday a 10-day tour of six Middle Eastern countries, including Israel.

Israel’s Channel 13 television reported that Brad Cooper visited Israel and held consultations regarding Israel’s possible participation in an attack on Iran.

It was reported that Admiral Cooper told Israeli military officials that Iran would be brought to the negotiating table only after being weakened militarily. He later denied these reports.

However, the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which carries fighter jets, is currently heading toward the Middle East. The George Washington is reportedly being sent to the region as a replacement for the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which carries combat aircraft and whose condition in the region has deteriorated, requiring it to be withdrawn. This too has been described as part of preparations for a possible attack on Iran.

The duration of the agreement between Iran and the United States to halt attacks is reportedly coming to an end. Iran has not held any further talks with the United States, and there appears to be no prospect of another agreement.

Despite pressure and threats from the United States, Iran has not reopened the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says it will not reopen Hormuz unless the losses it suffered in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes are compensated for, the blockade is lifted, its military forces are withdrawn, and Iranian funds are released. By keeping Hormuz closed, the United States is also facing economic pressure.

Based on President Trump’s statements and actions, many analysts continue to say that the United States appears to be preparing to launch a war against Iran.

At the same time, reports continue to discuss the difficulties the United States would face in carrying out military strikes against Iran.

Iranian and military leaders say that Iran’s forces are fully prepared to confront the enemy.
