Iran on alert after US and Israeli missile attack

Iran is on high alert after the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East. The country fears that US and Israeli missile attacks may occur. The Guardian reported that the US fleet is within range to strike Iran.

Analysts believe that the main target of the attack will be Iran's political leadership. So that the country's people will take to the streets again and create internal pressure. However, the attack will not directly weaken Iran's missile or nuclear programs.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, described the US initiative as a strategy to break social solidarity. He said that if the protesters try to take up arms, it could provoke a civil war.

Esmail Baghai, a spokesman for the country's Foreign Ministry, said that talks on a diplomatic agreement with the US are a lie. The Iranian military is closely monitoring every move and will respond with a full and strong response to any aggression.

Two weeks ago, Trump refrained from attacking Iran. However, Iranian protesters are unhappy that US promises of assistance have not been fulfilled. According to human rights organizations, thousands of people have already died in the protests. Many could be executed.

However, some countries in the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, have announced that they will not allow attacks using their airspace or sea borders. Although the US aircraft carrier strike group is stationed in the Mediterranean Sea. For this reason, attacks are possible without the permission of many third parties.

Experts say that the United States is now much more militarily prepared for an attack on Iran than in January. In the meantime, Trump has sent more warplanes, air defense systems and warships to the Middle East. This military preparation is now reaching its final stage.
