Iranians worry over American military buildup as next, last-chance round of talks with the US nears
The U.S. has deployed over 16 Navy ships near Iran, marking its largest Middle East military buildup in decades amid nuclear negotiations in Geneva.
- On Thursday, as Geneva talks open, U.S. President Donald Trump faces rising tensions after the United States assembled its greatest military firepower in the Middle East, prompting Iranian concern.
- Longstanding U.S. demands for Iran to stop uranium enrichment, curb missiles, and end proxy support have driven the standoff since the 2018 nuclear deal withdrawal, Iran's rejection persists.
- The deployment features the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald R. Ford alongside stealth F-35 fighters, more than 10,000 additional troops and two carrier strike groups.
- Amid broadcast drills, ordinary Iranians report anxiety about possible war as many feel hopeless and fear conflict while communications remain disrupted after last month's nationwide protests.
- Analysts warn the forward deployment strains munitions and readiness, while conflicting reports of 60 percent enriched uranium at Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant complicate diplomacy.
