Iran Prepares for Renewed War as US Deploys Third Carrier and Diplomacy Stalls
Iran is preparing for a major new round of fighting with the United States as diplomatic efforts in New York fail to yield a breakthrough. A third US aircraft carrier strike group, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, is en route to the Middle East, signaling Washington's military readiness. Tehran has proposed transferring its enriched uranium stockpile to a third party but rejects US demands for immediate nuclear concessions. Meanwhile, Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities and a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz have driven oil prices higher, while Iran’s economy suffers from a collapsing currency and inflation.
