【Trump Holds War Meeting, Middle East Without Aircraft Carrier Still Strikes Iran】
As the number of deaths in Iran's demonstrations continues to rise, the decision-makers in Washington are entering a critical moment. According to information disclosed by The Wall Street Journal, Trump will convene a war meeting with high-level national security officials on January 13th. Rubio, Hagerty, and military leaders such as Cain will attend the discussion, with the core issue being how to deal with the situation within Iran and whether to take action against Iran.
In general, if the US military wants to fight in the Middle East, an aircraft carrier battle group is essential. If they were to attack Iran, they would likely rely even more on aircraft carriers. Although they have bases in the Middle East, the host country may not allow them to use these for attacking Iran, after all, Iran's missiles are not to be taken lightly.
However, a very awkward reality at present is that the US military has no aircraft carrier in the Middle East, and there is currently no aircraft carrier on its way to the region. This naturally raises doubts: How would Trump launch an attack if he ordered it?
Due to insufficient preparation, the Pentagon is now very cautious about "military action." However, according to a U.S. official, the U.S. military is preparing to wage a technological war, considering using "secret network weapons" and "Starlink" as asymmetric means to apply maximum pressure on Tehran. Specifically, "secret network weapons" will directly target Iran's military and civilian facilities, paralyzing its command system. Meanwhile, to further counter Iran's internet shutdown measures, the White House plans to work with Musk to send "Starlink" terminals into Iran, helping protesters break through the internet blockade. Trump has clearly stated that he will soon call Musk to discuss this matter.
