How close is Trump to attacking Iran? | BBC News
For weeks, Washington has been building up its forces in the Middle East – and now looks set to assemble more air power in the region than at any time since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
President Donald Trump has been pressuring the Iranian regime to make a nuclear deal, saying Tehran has a deadline of “10, 15 days” before it could face potential military action. He has told reporters he’s considering “limited strikes”. Iran has vowed to retaliate if the US launches any attacks.
Merlyn Thomas from BBC Verify has been tracking the buildup of ships and fighter jets in the Middle East, including confirming the location of the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln – equipped with guided missile destroyers and dozens of fighter jets – near Iran. USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest warship, has also been spotted, seemingly en route to the region.
She explains the military fire power that the US could unleash on Iran, and how it compares with last year’s Operation Hammer, when the US struck Iran’s nuclear sites.

President Biden has marked his first 100 days in office by launching radical and ambitious proposals for America, a “once in a generation” investment plan as he called it.
If enacted, it could be transformational. It comes at a huge cost – four trillion dollars. Much of it would be paid for by tax rises for corporations and for the most wealthy.
The American Families Plan aims to cut child poverty and put a cap on child care costs.
It’s hoped it will create millions of jobs through a massive programme of investment in infrastructure, broadband and green energy.
However President Biden faces a battle in Congress, especially over raising higher taxes.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s alleged lover received a six-figure severance payment from Uefa while he was the organisation’s general secretary, according to a Daily Telegraph investigation.
The Telegraph reported that the woman had an alleged relationship with Infantino, who is married, during his time at European football’s governing body.
A spokesman for Infantino said he “strongly denies these categorically untrue allegations”.
The claims come as Infantino fights for his future as Fifa president following his abandoned plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
