As the sixth round of talks between Iran and the United States is set to take place in Oman this Sunday, international tension has reached a critical point. There is growing speculation that Israel might be preparing to attack Iran, especially with new military moves and political warnings being noticed globally. Several clear signs have surfaced in the last few days that point towards an imminent conflict — or at least serious preparations for one.
Many are now questioning: Is Israel planning an attack on Iran before diplomacy gets a chance? And if so, how deeply will the United States get involved? Here are the main developments raising alarms across the world.
US Pulls Out Diplomats and Families from Sensitive Areas
The US government has already begun withdrawing diplomatic staff and military families from Iraq and other Middle Eastern regions. The US State Department issued this directive, calling it a precaution due to increasing security risks. The Pentagon also confirmed that families of American soldiers have been given the option to leave voluntarily.
Such actions usually happen only when there is a real risk of violence or military conflict. The timing of this move, just days before the US-Iran talks, adds more weight to the theory that something big might be brewing.
Trump’s Remarks Reduce Hope for Peace Talks
Former US President Donald Trump, who once backed talks with Iran, has now shown doubts. He openly accused Iran of delaying the talks on purpose and again stressed that America would never allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Trump made it clear that if talks failed, military action would remain an option.
This shift in tone has raised concerns among diplomats and analysts, who see it as a sign that diplomatic efforts might not succeed this time.
US Intelligence Fears Israel Might Strike Without Warning
American intelligence agencies are warning that Israel may carry out a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites without informing Washington in advance. If this happens, it could pull the entire West Asia region into a new war.
Iran has already made it clear that in case of an attack by Israel, the US will be treated as equally responsible, given its long-standing political and military support to Israel.
Iran Posts Open Message: “We Are Ready”
In a rare and strong message, the Iranian government posted “We are ready” on X (formerly Twitter). This message was posted just after US intelligence shared alerts about Israel’s possible military move. Experts believe this is a direct warning to both the US and Israel, saying Iran is prepared for any outcome, including war.
Israel Strengthens Military Readiness
According to insider military reports, Israel has put its Air Force on high alert and deployed long- and medium-range missile systems across key areas. It is also believed that Israel has quietly warned some of its international partners that if Iran crosses a certain “red line,” Israel will respond without delay.
Such preparation usually only happens when a nation expects — or is planning — a significant military operation. Israel’s recent moves strongly suggest that the possibility of a pre-emptive strike is very real.
Is America Quietly Giving Approval?
While the US has not openly said it supports an Israeli strike, its current behaviour has raised many eyebrows. Apart from moving out staff and issuing warnings, the US State Department has also asked all American embassies across the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and North Africa to form Emergency Action Committees and share their safety plans with Washington immediately.
This kind of internal preparation only happens when a large crisis is expected.
What Iran Says About the Situation
Iran, meanwhile, is saying it still wants a peaceful solution. Iranian leaders have insisted that diplomacy is the only path forward, and they are willing to talk. But they have also said they are fully prepared to defend themselves if attacked.
This dual messaging — openness for peace and readiness for war — reflects Iran’s current strategy: wait for the Sunday talks but stay prepared in case things go wrong.
The World Watches the Oman Talks Closely
The Sunday talks in Oman could decide the future of peace in the Middle East. If Iran and the US manage to agree on the nuclear issue, war may be avoided — at least for now. But if these talks fail, the chances of military conflict between Israel and Iran will increase sharply.
Given the ongoing developments, the world is watching with bated breath. The next 48 hours might shape the future of the region.
