Tensions with Iran are boiling over, prompting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to possibly sit down with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as early as February 28. American sources indicate this high-stakes meeting comes as the US accelerates both diplomatic overtures and military positioning.
Fresh from Geneva talks, where Iran nodded to drafting a document to ease US worries and prevent all-out conflict, the focus shifts to enforcement. A senior US official emphasized the proposal’s role in mapping de-escalation between Tehran and Washington.
Rubio’s pivotal role in syncing policies under Trump, including his National Security Advisor duties, underscores the gravity. Israeli outlets reveal a White House huddle where officials were updated on force deployments targeting mid-March for any Iran operation.
Per CBS News via i24, military brass informed Trump of strike readiness by week’s end, with flexibility for post-weekend timing. No green light yet from the president.
Pentagon protocols may see US staff pulled from Middle East hotspots soon, prepositioning them safely before potential strikes or counterattacks.
Netanyahu’s recent Trump meeting amplified calls to curb Iran’s missiles and proxy support in any nuclear pact. As drums of war beat louder, this alliance eyes containment strategies that could reshape regional power dynamics.
