Is the nuclear threat actually over? President Trump is currently giving Iran a 10-day deadline to sign a “zero-enrichment” deal or face “really bad things.” While the White House claims the 2025 “Operation Midnight Hammer” strikes already “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, the U.S. military is now moving a massive fleet into the region. Military leaders are quietly warning that while the physical labs were hit hard, Iran still has the knowledge and enough enriched material to cause trouble, making another round of strikes a much riskier gamble.
The big fear at the Pentagon is that more attacks could spark a “forever war” that the U.S. isn’t ready for. Critics say you can’t bomb away scientific expertise, and with thousands of U.S. troops in the region, any mistake could lead to a massive retaliation. As the deadline looms, the world is watching to see if this is a clever negotiation tactic or if we’re truly on the brink of a major new conflict in the Middle East.
