U.S. Readies Forces for Possible Strike on Iran as Tensions Rise Around Strait of Hormuz
The United States has told Israel that preparations for possible military action against Iran should be completed within two weeks, while retaining the option to act sooner if ordered by President Trump.

The U.S. has positioned a carrier strike group and additional air and missile-defence assets in the Middle East to deter Iran, which has entered maximum readiness and warned its response to any attack would not be limited to U.S. bases. Hezbollah and Israel have signalled that the confrontation could draw in regional proxies and force civil contingencies, while Gulf states worry that military action could trigger widespread instability and economic shocks.
