Truce with Iran on the Brink - US Uses Its Main Weapon

The US is moving the aircraft carrier George Washington toward Iran as the 60-day ceasefire nears its end. An Iranian official said no talks are underway to extend the truce and there is no progress. The Pentagon has given defense contractors 21 days to submit plans to accelerate weapons production. IRGC adviser Naqdi believes Iran is ready to fight until 2029.

The US armed forces are preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities against Iran: the aircraft carrier George Washington with its strike group is moving toward Iran as the 60-day ceasefire between Washington and Tehran approaches its end. A senior Iranian official said that no negotiations are underway to extend the truce, and the only thing that could be discussed is the US side resuming compliance with the terms of the memorandum of understanding, but there is no progress. The source stressed that Tehran and Washington are not discussing extending the ceasefire. Earlier, adviser to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Mohammad Reza Naqdi said that Iran is ready to continue military operations until the end of Donald Trump's presidential term in early 2029, hoping to weaken US forces. The protracted conflict is increasing pressure on global markets. The Pentagon has demanded that defense contractors speed up weapons production: companies have been given a maximum of 21 days to present plans to increase output.
