Meanwhile the headlines say Trump is sending more warships to the area and telling Iran it&#x27;s running out of time to make a deal or else.

Based on the US troop movements, Israel&#x27;s sneak attack last year and the ongoing suspicion that the US uses protests and NGOs to achieve regime change it&#x27;d seem to be a no-brainer for Iran to be on extreme war footing right now. I imagine this&#x27;d be part of their preparation.
