Iran is positioning its vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman as US warships head toward Iran.
The US has deployed an additional submarine armed with 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Middle East after CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper arrived in Israel.

Iran protests spook Indian rice export hub (VIDEO)
An RT India report reveals that stocks are piling up in trading and export hubs in the northern state of Haryana
Marco Rubio has warned Iraq to avoid regional conflicts after the Kata'ib Hezbollah (Hezbollah Brigades) movement urged resistance fighters worldwide to prepare for war in support of Iran.
It seems that one of the reasons Trump is sending US warships near Iran is because Iran has tested a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers, capable of reaching the United States.
It may be so, but it is not verified. The link you used was from Pakistan and when you check Iran's own news agency PressTV, then they have nothing about it. So it appears to be just rumours, likely put out by Israel friendly outlets whose aim is to up the pressure on the US to do something.
Key allies deny airspace to Trump’s ‘beautiful armada’
"The UAE and Saudi Arabia have distanced themselves from Washington’s potential military action against Iran""Washington’s closest Gulf allies – Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – have publicly declared they will not permit their territory or airspace to be used for any US military action against Iran."
"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman explicitly told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a phone call on Tuesday that the kingdom “will not allow its airspace or territory to be used for any military actions against Iran.” This followed a similar announcement on Monday from the UAE, which stated it would not provide logistical support or serve as a staging ground for “hostile military actions” against Tehran."

The US Navy has deployed its sixth destroyer, the USS Delbert D. Black, to the Persian Gulf after Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, head of Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman), visited Washington to provide Trump's administration with specific intelligence regarding Iran.
No surprise here, given the continued exposure of Erika Kirk in a post dated ten years ago.
Cyprus and Israel’s airspace coordination, paired with U.S. destroyers and a British sub in the Med, isn’t just routine—it’s strategic muscle flexing. Iran’s nuclear brinkmanship forced this. Remember June 2025? Israel’s Operation Rising Lion proved deterrence only works when backed by overwhelming force. Those U.S. ships aren’t there for show—they’re a tripwire against Tehran’s proxies, ensuring any Iranian retaliation gets smothered before reaching Israel’s coast. Biden’s era of hollow “diplomacy” let enrichment spiral; now it’s about closing the noose. Every radar blip in that corridor screams one message to the ayatollahs: breakout attempts will be met with instant, irreversible consequences.

Iran's nuclear ambitions will be met with a response exceeding expectations

US Secretary of Defense Hegseth:
Iran has all the options to make a deal.
They must not seek to acquire nuclear capabilities, or we will be prepared to offer whatever Trump expects.

Senior Saudi and Israeli defense and intelligence officials are converging on Washington this week as the Trump administration weighs potential US strikes on Iran, according to Axios. This as the same report also observes:
"A 'limited strike' is an illusion. Any military action by the U.S. — from any origin and at any level — will be considered an act of war and the response will be immediate, all out, and unprecedented, targeting the heart of Tel Aviv and all those supporting the aggressor," Ali Shamkhani, a top adviser to Iran's supreme leader, wrote on X.
Israeli officials, including IDF Intelligence Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, are reportedly presenting intelligence on Iranian targets to Pentagon, CIA, and White House officials, while Saudi counterparts are attempting to slow-walk Washington away from outright war. The Saudis lately joined the Emirates in barring the Pentagon for using airspace for any strikes.
Gen. Binder met with senior US defense and intelligence officials on Tuesday and Wednesday, while Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman - brother of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - is expected to hold talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff later this week.
Behind closed doors, Trump is said to be considering targeted strikes on Iranian security forces and leadership figures in a bid to trigger internal unrest, Reuters has reported. Secretary Rubio yesterday floated before a Senate hearing the idea that the US must "preemptively prevent" Iran from attacking American forces already in the region, in an interesting display of war logic.
But CNN says stalled US-Iran talks over Tehran's nuclear and missile programs have only hardened Washington’s appetite for escalation - raising the odds that diplomacy is giving way to force once again, or rather, placing the diplomatic bar so high that it would be next to impossible for Iran to comply.
Currently, Trump officials are reportedly insisting that Iran be stripped of any missile capability capable of striking Israel. Israel, meanwhile, would retain its full missile arsenal - including the undeclared nuclear weapons that everyone in the world knows about - capable of hitting Iran. According to CNN:
The biggest sticking point, sources said, has been the US demand that Iran agree to put limits on the range of its ballistic missiles — an acute concern for Israel, which expended much of its missile interceptor stockpile shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles during last June’s 12-day war. Iran has balked at that and told the US it would only discuss its nuclear program. The US has not replied, leaving both sides at a dead end, the sources said.
Which leaves the so-called "sticking point" glaringly obvious: Washington is demanding that Tehran agree to unilateral disarmament, rendering itself defenseless against Israeli air and missile strikes. In other words, total capitulation - or else.
And about that supposedly "obliterated" Iranian nuclear program?
It’s not clear why Trump has since shifted his focus back to Iran’s nuclear program, which he said last summer had been “obliterated” by US strikes. But Iran has been trying to rebuild its nuclear sites even deeper underground, according to a person familiar with recent US intelligence on the issue, and has long resisted US pressure to halt its uranium enrichment. The regime has also barred the UN’s nuclear watchdog from inspecting its nuclear sites.
Like with Venezuela before - or even hearkening all the way back to Bush's Iraq invasion - the justifications for war will keep on shifting, until something sticks in a thinly veiled effort to manufacture consent.
..And then the pretext will soon after be forgotten about when the bombs fall.
As one commenter pointed out related the several regime change conflicts of the last couple decades: "Free Iran" means exactly what "Free Iraq," "Free Libya," and "Free Syria" meant. That is the material reality, however you try to spin it. Either you’re calling for another US-engineered destruction, or you’re so politically naive your opinion can be automatically disregarded.
