"The Trump administration is reportedly on the verge of attacking Iran in order to force Islamic Republic officials to agree to President Donald Trump's demands for a nuclear deal, and to potentially push for regime change, which could spark a disastrous, protracted war. U.S. officials have provided no evidence for an imminent threat - the only legal justification for the use of military force under international law - from Iran."
"In the past few weeks, the U.S. has built up a military force likened to that of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The Pentagon has sent two aircraft carriers - including the world's largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford - to the Mediterranean in preparation for the attack, alongside an arsenal of more than 120 aircraft, drones, and combat ships."
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing military action against Iran to coerce agreement on a nuclear deal and potentially pursue regime change, risking a protracted war. U.S. officials have not presented evidence of an imminent Iranian threat, the only recognized legal justification for force under international law. The Pentagon has deployed two aircraft carriers, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, plus over 120 aircraft, drones, and combat ships to the Mediterranean. Trump said he is considering a limited strike and gave Iran 10 to 15 days to accept a deal, with reports suggesting action could occur within days.
