The US is increasing its military presence near Iran amid rising tensions. President Donald Trump warned Iran that "the next attack will be far worse!" unless it limits its nuclear program. A "massive Armada" is heading to the region, ready "to rapidly fulfil its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary," Trump stated. Around 50,000 US troops are already in the Middle East, with a major base at al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar, plus bases in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Bahrain. Recently, social media and open sources tracked new US warplanes arriving, including F-15 fighters, refueling tankers, and transport planes possibly carrying air defense systems. Britain has added Typhoon jets to the region to "boost regional security." The US Air Force is running a major exercise called Agile Spartan to show combat readiness. Importantly, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group was redirected from the Indo-Pacific to the Gulf. It carries around 70 aircraft, including F-35 stealth jets, destroyers armed with cruise missiles, and a nuclear submarine. Military expert Matthew Savill says the US can strike most targets in Iran except the most deeply buried sites, which would need stealth bombers. Possible targets include Iran’s ballistic missile and coastal missile batteries, or military centers like the Revolutionary Guard Corps. Removing Iran’s top leaders could be harder and riskier. Trump has shown willingness to use military force but prefers short, limited strikes over long conflicts. He remains open to diplomatic talks if Iran agrees to nuclear limits. As Trump put it, "We have a big flotilla going in that region and we'll see what happens."
