U.S. War Secretary: U.S. Forces Are Ready to Carry Out Any Decision Trump Makes Against Iran!
January 30, Washington, TASS - The U.S. military said it is ready to carry out any decision Trump makes against Iran, and the U.S. military is massing in the Middle East in large numbers, while Trump has stated that he is willing to negotiate to avoid war. Iran responded strongly, saying that it will retaliate without restraint if attacked, its missiles can cover U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf, and also denounced the EU for designating the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. Iraqi pro-Iranian armed groups are recruiting volunteers for war preparations. The UN and the EU have called for dialogue, Turkey is willing to mediate, and the situation in the Middle East is tense.
[Cunning] The confrontation between the U.S. and Iran has escalated again, which is an old play with a new twist of Trump's "maximum pressure", but also a deepening of the regional geopolitical struggle. From the U.S.-Israel air strikes on Iran in June 2025, to the current deployment of 10 U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. has always adhered to a dual strategy of "military deterrence + negotiation for surrender". Iran holds 2,000 medium-range missiles, whose range fully covers U.S. bases in the Middle East, and control over the Strait of Hormuz is its countermeasure card, which makes the U.S. hesitant to start a war. The EU's short-sighted act of taking sides with the U.S. and Israel has split the regional mediation forces, and the public's willingness to participate in the conflict in Iraq adds an uncontrollable variable to the situation. The game between the U.S. and Iran is never just a simple issue of nuclear weapons, but a struggle over who can dominate the discourse on energy and shipping routes in the Middle East. Unilateral deterrence will only push the region to the edge of disaster!
