Pentagon deployments include additional fighter jets to protect US forces. Reports suggest imminent US strikes on Iran, potentially within days, as Trump escalates rhetoric against Supreme Leader Khamenei. The Republican Party is divided, with hawks urging military action while Trump's MAGA base opposes foreign intervention. Despite lacking congressional war authorisation, Trump could order limited strikes using emergency powers. Diplomatic efforts appear stalled as the administration's posture hardens, with Vice President Vance reluctantly supporting the president's approach.
