Reports: Washington Completes Military Preparations for Potential Confrontation with Iran

Recent military analyses indicate that the United States has completed preparations for a potential military confrontation with Iran, accusing Tehran of granting Washington “precious time” to bolster its forces under the cover of negotiations. Military writer Alexander Timokhin warned that these preparations have entered their final stages, and a U.S. attack could occur within a short timeframe, according to specialized reports.

Unprecedented Military Buildup and Reports of Iranian Errors

The report revealed intensive U.S. military movements in the region in recent days, including the transfer of large quantities of aerial munitions and deployment of additional troops to U.S. bases regionally. Timokhin confirmed that current air support deployments—including reconnaissance aircraft, early warning systems, electronic warfare planes, and aerial refueling tankers—far exceed those seen in the region in 2015. He also noted the presence of special operations units capable of executing precision missions in the theater, including the giant aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. Conversely, the report criticized what it described as “major” past errors by Iran that facilitated its adversary’s strategic consolidation.

Israeli Readiness and Limited-Pressure Strategy

Regarding the Israeli front, reports indicate that Tel Aviv has spent recent months compensating for previous shortages in precision munitions, leveraging systems like “Hetz.” However, sources confirmed Israel won’t engage in any unilateral confrontation with Iran this time. The report instead advocated for a counter-strategy involving “limited and calculated use of special forces against U.S. regional targets” and “striking essential targets to maximize international political and economic pressure on Washington,” asserting this approach proves more effective than waging an “asymmetric total war.”

Decisive Factor and Future of Confrontation

The analysis emphasized that the “true decisive factor” in the crisis lies not only in military balance but in “the Iranian regime’s resilience and ability to avoid mistakes” during the upcoming sensitive period. The report concluded that the coming days will be critical in determining the trajectory of potential confrontations and the limits of Washington’s strategic gambits, particularly amid ongoing intensive U.S. military movements in the region.
These developments underscore the current phase’s sensitivity, with mounting indicators of completed U.S. military preparations and shifting regional power balances. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime’s capacity for political maneuvering and avoiding direct escalation remains pivotal in determining the crisis’s course.
