Three ways Trump could strike Iran - CaspianReport
The excerpt discusses the potential for a U.S. military strike on Iran, driven by unresolved issues from a previous attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and the missing 400 kg of enriched uranium. The Pentagon is preparing for a large-scale operation, with U.S. forces and equipment being relocated to regional bases, while Iran strengthens its defenses with Russian and Chinese support.
The U.S. faces strategic challenges in executing an attack, including the need for stealth aircraft and fueling operations, and must choose between limited strikes on nuclear sites or a broader campaign aimed at regime change.
Iran’s response could range from limited retaliation to a full-scale escalation, while Israel may exploit any power vacuum to destroy Iran’s military infrastructure. The video emphasizes that the situation is not about democracy or freedom but about strategic interests, with the U.S. and Israel seeking to reshape the Middle East.
