🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🤝🇺🇸 — Axios reports that a war with Iran could begin very soon, potentially unfolding as a weeks-long campaign.

➡️This comes after U.S. and Iranian diplomats met yesterday to discuss a possible deal. Although both sides said the talks “made progress,” U.S. officials remain pessimistic about the chances of reaching a final agreement.

➡️Vice President Vance stated that while Trump still wants a deal, he could determine that diplomacy has “reached its natural end.”

➡️Meanwhile, the military buildup in the region continues. More than 150 cargo flights have transported assets into the area so far, with over 50 jets arriving in just the past 24 hours alone.

➡️At the same time, the Israeli government, which is advocating for a maximalist strategy aimed at regime change, is preparing for the possibility that war could begin within days, according to two Israeli officials.

A senior American official told me that the round of talks with Iran in Geneva was "just an empty hamburger bun". This is one of the reasons why Trump is about to make a decision on waging war against Iran.
