The rapid pace of US military movements raises questions about whether Washington is shifting from a policy of pressure to preparing for a military option against Iran, with the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and an estimated 20,000 additional US troops. Political and military analyst Muhannad Al-Azzawi of Sky News Arabia believes the size of the reinforcements reflects a readiness to implement a military option, while researcher Mohammed Al-Zaghoul places these movements within a broader strategy for managing Iran's nuclear and missile programs. Saeed Shawardi, for his part, believes the size of the US force opens the door to a wider confrontation, while David Ramadan points to the continuation of economic pressure alongside the potential military option. Has Washington already begun the countdown to a strike against Iran, or is this military buildup simply a new pressure tactic on the table of confrontation and negotiation?
