"Despite the heightened tensions, a full-scale war [between the U.S. and Iran] remains unlikely in the immediate term."

"Trump has been clear in his desire to resolve the issue diplomatically and avoid war [with Iran] in the Middle East."

"Despite all the hysteria of war, I'm not really seeing that on the horizon."

"It is highly unlikely that Trump will bomb Iran, not least because he vowed on the presidential campaign trail not to drag the United States into a war."

"The potential of some kind of conflict with Iran escalating into a larger regional war is very real, possibly more real than ever."

"The United States now seems close to a direct conflict that Biden (and Iran) have worked hard to avoid."

"[A] full-scale war is hardly inevitable."

"If they [Iran] don't make a deal [with the US], there will be bombing."

"No, we're not thinking about nuclear weapons."

"We have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all."

"Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't building nukes, and hasn't made the decision to build nukes."

"Iran doesn't have a bomb, and doesn't appear to be trying to make a bomb."

"They are definitely going for a nuclear weapon there is no question."

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon "within a few months, less than a year."

Will Iran Possess a Nuclear Weapon?

The United States Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was attacked by two drones early Tuesday morning, resulting in a limited fire and minor material damage to the building, according to the Saudi Ministry of Defense.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and threatened to set ablaze any ships attempting to pass through the waterway, which carries about one-fifth of global oil and LNG supply. Oil prices jumped as much as 13% to their highest levels since January 2025.

Israel carried out heavy airstrikes on Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut after the Iran-backed group launched missiles and drones toward Israel. The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for 55 villages and towns across Lebanon, asking residents to move at least 1,000 meters away.

America must respond decisively to Iran's brazen attack on the embassy in Riyadh and the killing of US service members. The military operations are inflicting tremendous damage on Iran and proceeding ahead of schedule, setting them back considerably. Attacks are part of war, and the US will achieve its objectives without needing boots on the ground.

Iran has never initiated war in 300 years and only defends its civilization against aggression. The US and Israel started this conflict, but Iran's decentralized defense strategy will determine when and how it ends. Decades of studying American military defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan have prepared Iran for prolonged resistance.
