US President Donald Trump’sadministration is “closer” to military action against Iran than many realize, Axiosreported on Wednesday, warning that a potential strike could unfold “withinweeks” if nuclear talks fail.
Citing US and Israeliofficials, Axios said any operation would likely be broader and longer thanlast month’s limited strike in Venezuela and more extensive than theIsraeli-led 12-day war with Iran in June 2025. The US military has deployed twoaircraft carriers, multiple warships, hundreds of fighter jets, and air defensesystems to the region, with more than 150 cargo flights delivering weapons andequipment in recent weeks.
The second round ofindirect US-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva ended on Tuesday without abreakthrough. According to ABC News, a US official claimed that “progress wasmade,” but “there are still a lot of details to discuss,” while Iranianofficials indicated they would return within two weeks with detailed proposalsaimed at narrowing remaining gaps.
The three-hour meetingbrought together President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and MiddleEast Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. VicePresident JD Vance said the talks “went well” in some respects but confirmedIran has not accepted key “red lines” set by Trump, adding that the presidentwill decide when diplomacy has “reached its natural end.”
Washington demands acomplete halt to enrichment inside Iran, while Tehran has floated temporarysuspensions or dilution of enriched stockpiles. US officials are weighingpotential sanctions relief, including financial and oil measures, though nocommitments have been announced. Meanwhile, Israeli officials, according toAxios, are preparing for a scenario in which conflict could erupt within days.
In June 2025, Tehranwas given a similar two-week deadline before Trump authorized strikes onIranian nuclear facilities under Operation Midnight Hammer.
