The US military has already inflicted devastation on Iran, and President Trump expressed his frustration with the ongoing talks, indicating a potential escalation of tensions. Experts predict a resumption of the war as preparations are underway for more escalation. The US has about 50,000 troops in the region, and the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS George W. Bush aircraft carrier strike groups remain in the region.
The White House, the Department of War, and US Central Command did not respond to requests for comment. Iran's parliament security chief declared that Tehran has prepared a plan to 'manage traffic' in the Strait of Hormuz, open to allies for a fee, permanently closed to American-linked ships. The US has repeatedly said it has sunk Iran's navy and obliterated its missile and rocket launcher capability.
