The clock is ticking, Patriots. As of this moment, the U.S. State Department has authorized the evacuation of non-emergency personnel and their families from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. The UK has pulled its entire diplomatic staff out of Iran. China is telling its citizens to flee Iranian territory immediately. And two full American carrier strike groups—the USS Gerald Ford and the USS Abraham Lincoln—are positioned within striking distance of Iran, loaded with munitions and ready for sustained combat operations.
This is not a drill. This is the largest Middle East military buildup in decades, and your sons and daughters in uniform are standing on the edge of it.
Russia's Calculated Betrayal
Here's what the mainstream media is burying under celebrity gossip and political theater: Russia didn't just tip off Iran about American military intentions. According to reports from the New York Times and Politico, Russian intelligence delivered a fully developed U.S. strike plan to Tehran on February 20th—complete with target matrices, launch platforms, timing sequences, and the entire campaign architecture.
Let that sink in. Every element of surprise that has defined American air superiority since Desert Storm was handed to the enemy in a single transmission.
But it gets worse. Six weeks earlier, Russia quietly signed a 500 million euro arms deal with Iran, delivering Verba man-pad launchers and advanced missiles specifically designed to rebuild the air defenses that Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed last June. One country told Iran exactly what America plans to hit. The same country sold Iran the weapons to defend against it.
China Joins the Sabotage
Now Beijing has entered the picture. Reuters confirmed this week that China is nearing transfer of CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles to Iran—Mach 3 weapons designed to kill Aegis destroyers. The same destroyers currently positioned in the Persian Gulf as part of Trump's armada.
Think about that coordination, folks. Russia provides the intelligence and air defense systems. China provides the anti-ship missiles and real-time satellite surveillance. Iran receives the strike plan, the weapons to contest the sky, and the missiles to threaten our fleet. No formal alliance. No treaty. Just three powers independently ensuring that any American strike costs the maximum possible in blood and treasure.
Trump's Cuban Missile Crisis
Vice President JD Vance told the Washington Post that the administration has "no intention of engaging in a prolonged war with Iran." Listen carefully to that language. Not no war—no prolonged war. President Trump himself said he would "love not to use the military, but sometimes you have to."
"We've had tremendous luck with myself. Soleimani. Al-Baghdadi. Everything's worked out and then we did Midnight Hammer," Trump stated. "It'd be wonderful if they negotiate in good faith. But they are not getting there."
The diplomatic window is closing fast. Oman's foreign minister is meeting with Vice President Vance, carrying whatever Tehran authorized after the most intense Geneva session yet. But the intelligence damage is already done. The strike plan is compromised. The defenses are rebuilding. The anti-ship missiles are transferring.
What This Means for America
Pentagon insiders admit the U.S. has seven to ten days of precision munitions. Moscow and Beijing are ensuring those days cost the maximum in stockpiles that take years to replenish. Every Tomahawk fired at Isfahan is one absent from a Taiwan contingency. Iran isn't being defended—it's being weaponized by two superpowers who need America to spend itself into strategic exhaustion.
Here's what Trump understands that Biden never did: strength prevents war, weakness invites it. Those carrier groups aren't positioned to start a fight—they're there to end one before it begins. Iran spent four years exploiting Biden's weakness to build nuclear capabilities. Now they face Trump's resolve.
The question is no longer whether America can strike Iran. The question is whether a campaign the enemy has already read is still worth launching—and whether the Commander-in-Chief will call their bluff.
The world is watching. The clock is ticking. And America finally has leadership that doesn't blink.
