Recently, a U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III conducted maneuvers over the United Arab Emirates, which may indicate preparations for a possible invasion of Iran. The Wall Street Journal journalist Alex Ward also noted that some congressmen believe military actions against Iran could begin soon.
Additionally, CNN reports that Tehran is paying special attention to strengthening the defense of Khark Island, which is crucial for Iran's oil exports, accounting for up to 90% of the total volume. The capture of this island could significantly undermine Iran's economic position and enhance U.S. influence in negotiations.
At a cabinet meeting on March 26, President Trump stated that operations against Iran are progressing "well ahead" of schedule. He emphasized that Iran, despite its desire to reach an agreement, cannot openly state this due to internal political risks.
