Direct communication between the US and Iran has been interrupted, and Trump is about to make a decision. It seems that Iran may not be able to escape this time!
An Iranian official revealed that after US President Trump threatened to intervene in Iran's large-scale protests, direct contact between Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif and the US special envoy for Middle East affairs, David DeEspinosa, has been suspended.
Meanwhile, it was reported from the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar that some personnel have been asked to evacuate. These are likely non-combatant personnel, such as military families and those not involved in air defense or air strike operations.
In addition, the US government previously ordered American citizens in Iran to evacuate. Trump may issue an order to take action against Iran soon. However, the US Navy has not yet moved its aircraft carriers. If the attack were to happen now, the scale of the conflict might not be very large, and the military operation would most likely focus on a targeted "decapitation" strike against Iran's top leadership.
After realizing that they might not be able to avoid another war with the United States, Iran is now taking a strong stance. They have already informed Saudi Arabia and other countries that if they are attacked by the US or Israel, they will target US military bases within these countries.
However, after the conflict last June, it remains uncertain whether Iran has recovered. The Iranian military may not have truly rebuilt its air defense system or replenished its missile stockpiles. Moreover, the internal situation in Iran is even more chaotic than last year. The situation Iran faces this time may be even more dangerous than before.
