Rising tensions between the United States and Iran come as nuclear talks show cautious optimism, with President Masoud Pezeshkian noting “encouraging signals.” Yet Tehran warns it is prepared for all outcomes while Washington strengthens its Gulf military presence and Donald Trump signals severe consequences if negotiations fail. The fragile diplomacy reflects deep mistrust, with both sides balancing dialogue and deterrence. <br /> <br />Iran’s large ballistic missile arsenal underscores the risk. Missiles from western Iran could reach Israel within minutes, leaving little reaction time for defense or warnings. Underground launch sites, mobile systems, and speed-focused strategy give Tehran a powerful deterrent, meaning even limited strikes could trigger major regional escalation. <br /> <br />#USIran #MiddleEastTensions #BallisticMissiles #IranIsrael #NuclearTalks #Geopolitics #DefenseStrategy #MilitaryThreat #GlobalSecurity #WarRisk #Diplomacy #MissileDefense #IranMilitary #StrategicBalance #RegionalConflict #ForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics #SecurityCrisis #InternationalRelations<br /><br />~HT.410~PR.460~ED.420~GR.538~
