Trump has sent a U.S. aircraft carrier and additional warships to the Middle East and is conducting military drills. He has publicly warned Iran that time is running out to agree to a new nuclear deal, threatening that a future U.S. military strike would be 'far worse' than previous ones.
Iranian leaders, including Khamenei, the country's Supreme Leader, and commanders of the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard Corps, have warned they are ready to retaliate. They stated that all U.S. bases in the region are within their reach and threatened to hit the 'heart of Tel Aviv' if the U.S. attacks. Iran's foreign minister said the country will not negotiate under military threat.
The U.S. has withdrawn some personnel from regional bases as a precaution. Arab allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have reportedly urged restraint and barred attacks on Iran from their territory. The U.S. ambassador to the UN told an emergency meeting that 'all options are on the table.'
