Expert Warns US-Israel War Against Iran Imminent, Broader Conflict Expected

The US Pentagon has prepared military options for renewed strikes on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and infrastructure, and has deployed additional naval assets to the Middle East. While no final decision has been made by President Trump, Iran has threatened double retaliation, including potential nuclear escalation and strikes on energy/civilian targets, if attacked. The situation indicates a high risk of military escalation, with US forces reportedly ready to act within 96 hours of an order.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has reportedly pressured the military for covert or limited action against Iran ahead of elections, facing resistance from Chief of Staff Zamir due to miscalculation risks. This has led to a deepening civil-military rift, with the military reportedly resisting being used for political motives. The situation signals elevated risk of pre-election military escalation and internal friction within Israel's security establishment.
