US-Iran deal

“The central danger is miscalculation. The conflict could become region-wide with very little warning,” founder of Q Advisory John Keith King said.

US Democrats object to the ongoing and deeply unpopular war with Iran, which the Pentagon said has cost the US $37.5 billion so far.

The threat of attacking the Iranian site reflects escalating tensions as Tehran and Washington trade fire in the Gulf, setting back efforts to end the conflict.

The mediators, including senior Qatari, Egyptian, Omani, and Pakistani officials, have presented the proposal to the United States.

"The principle of the matter is clear: mediators are working and trying to prevent tension from escalating," Baghaei explained. 

The strange doings in Washington were just a small component of the “what were they thinking?” march of folly in this surrealistic new world.

CENTCOM added that over 50,000 US service members stationed in the Middle East remain "vigilant, lethal, and ready."

Those targeted allegedly used aviation and logistics companies in Iran, Italy, and Russia to source arms and drone components in violation of renewed UN restrictions.

Many believe Iran is currently operating with four overlapping centers of authority – and that each is vying for supreme power.

Iranian armed forces launched attacks on US military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following US strikes on Iran's southern provinces, further eroding a three-week-old ceasefire.
