The United States' preparation for a possible military operation against Iran has reached its maximum stage.
Modern.az reports that, according to military-analytical circles, Washington has brought the strike scenario to a state of readiness for execution, and the coming hours could be decisive.
According to information, the US side is preparing to inform pilots about the closure of airspace over Iran's Isfahan region.
At the same time, the use of electronic warfare means is envisaged, which is aimed at complicating the coordination of Iran's air defense systems.
According to experts, any aircraft passing over Isfahan tonight will effectively have to fly without communication, in a 'blind' mode.
The arrival of the US naval forces, dubbed the 'sea fist,' in the entry zone of the Gulf of Oman indicates that the ships are already within missile launch range. This situation turns areas such as Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Kerman, located in southeastern Iran, into targets for sea-launched 'Tomahawk' cruise missiles without the need for additional maneuvering. Analysts note that while aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier still require aerial refueling tankers, coastal targets and advanced defense lines are already within the direct strike zone.
According to experts, Israel has completed its preparations, and the 24-hour decision window intended for the US is rapidly closing.
Previously, at 19:41 local time, American media reported that CENTCOM's command aircraft had landed in Jordan. It is stated that, in the event of a war against Iran, Jordan could become one of the main operational bases for the United States.
Amidst the possible military escalation, Iran has also issued a strong statement. Official Tehran's statement indicates that any country supporting the US and Israel in their actions against Iran will be considered a legitimate target for Iran.
Currently, eight US warships equipped with 'Tomahawk' cruise missiles are deployed in the region. In addition, an aircraft carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier 'Abraham Lincoln' has been sent to the Middle East. The aircraft carrier is escorted by three destroyers, and six aviation squadrons are deployed on its deck.
Experts state that the presence of such a large-scale US naval grouping in the Middle East and adjacent waters indicates the formation not only of strike potential but also of a complete operational infrastructure for long-term operations — command and control systems, fuel reserves, and intelligence support. The 'sea fist' will also be protected from the air by 10–11 aviation squadrons, including attack aircraft, stationed at US airbases in the region.
