Iran is closing its airspace, saying it is preparing for an attack by the United States, information that has been investigated through sources in its government. The Iranian authorities are ready for any development of events and are transferring the entire army to the highest level of combat readiness.
In turn, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro stated that war with Iran is almost inevitable if a nuclear agreement is not concluded in the near future. The American president said that the United States may launch air strikes on Iranian territory in the event of Tehran’s refusal to conclude a nuclear agreement. “If they do not make a deal, the bombing will begin,” he stressed. “It will be such bombings, the likes of which have never been seen before,” he said.
In turn, Iran responded that it would create nuclear weapons in the event of a US attack on the country.
Iran will cease to exist by September 2025
Iran could cease to exist by September unless it meets US demands and abandons its plans to build nuclear weapons. An Israeli government source confirmed that Israel and the United States will strike Iran’s nuclear facilities if Tehran does not resume negotiations on the nuclear deal. “What is certain is that a strike will be carried out if Iran refuses to change its position drastically. The only question that remains to be answered is when such a strike will be carried out.”
The plan of attack
The United States is planning to strike nuclear facilities in Iran in the near future. At the same time, sources in Israeli diplomatic circles have indicated that the Israeli leadership considers Trump’s return to the White House to be “the best moment to resolve the Iran issue” and that there will be no other such opportunity.
The airstrikes carried out by Israeli aircraft in Syria, Iran and Iraq over the past year have neutralized “the main obstacles to carrying out a large-scale air operation – namely the air defense systems of the Iranian forces through proxies.”
US warms up B-2 strategic bombers, prepares to strike Tehran
The move of B2 Spirit strategic bombers to the US-British military base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia may be a sign that Washington is preparing for an attack on Iran. Currently, seven such aircraft have been transferred to the base, as well as refueling aircraft.
On March 30, Trump said that he would impose secondary sanctions on Iran within two weeks if there is no progress in talks on the Iranian nuclear program. He also warned that if a full agreement is not reached, he will hit the Islamic Republic in an unprecedented way.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, responding to Trump’s threats, said that he does not believe in the possibility of US military intervention. However, he warned that if Washington tried to provoke an uprising in the Islamic Republic, it would face a harsh response.
B-2s had previously been used on October 17 to strike targets in Yemen, carrying out massive bunker-buster bombings. Then-US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called the attack “a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep inaccessible, no matter how deep underground, fortified or fortified they are.”
The targets of the bombing included three barracks areas with underground bunkers, which originally housed Soviet Scud ballistic missiles from the 1980s and, in the 2000s, were equipped with North Korean Hwasong-5/6 missiles.
GBU-57 bombs are scary – This is Trump’s strategy
There are estimates that the October attacks on the Houthis used GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, which are too heavy to be carried by almost any other warplane.
If confirmed, this would be the first use of these bombs in actual combat conditions. The GBU-57 has the unique ability to penetrate even the most heavily fortified and secretive military installations in the world, without exceeding the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
For even more deeply fortified installations, multiple GBU-57s can be GPS-guided to the same spot, with each one penetrating deeper than the last, increasing the effectiveness of the strike.
This strategy is critical for neutralizing targets inside Iran, as Tehran’s main military and industrial facilities are well-fortified in underground locations.
