Deep dive into escalating US-Iran tensions in West Asia. Analysis covers massive US military buildup—carriers, fighters, refuelers—while Iran refuses to negotiate on ballistic missiles or support for resistance groups. Key insights: US forces stretched thin, limited air/missile defense interceptor production; Iran's growing long-range strike capabilities, drones, and potential Russia/China intelligence/military support. Explores regional dynamics (Saudi, Turkey, Iraq), role of resistance groups, and war scenarios including decapitation strikes vs. attrition warfare. Core assessment: Iran achieves strategic victory if its government survives. Prolonged conflict could divert US resources from Asia, benefit Russia via higher oil prices. With diplomatic windows closing and assets positioning, situation remains highly volatile. Critical question: Can US secure quick victory, or face protracted conflict favoring Iran's asymmetric defense strategy?

Recent on-the-ground report from Iran shows society prepared for conflict while daily life continues normally.
