Is War With Iran Coming? Here Are The Facts
First of all, Satellite images from late January and early February show visible work at many of the Iranian sites hit during last year’s strikes — especially missile-related facilities. Meanwhile, Iran’s big nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan, Fordow) still look largely inoperative, but they’re doing something very telling: putting new roofs and cover on damaged buildings. That’s not “recovery.” That’s concealment. When a regime starts hiding the work, it’s because it doesn’t want eyes on it. At the same time, the U.S. and Iran just held talks in Oman. President Trump said the talks were “very good,” warned the consequences would be steep if Iran won’t deal, and said there will be another meeting early next week. Iran’s foreign minister called it a “good start”, but also made it clear they won’t accept “zero enrichment of uranium,” and they refuse to discuss missiles. So here’s the real question you asked me in messages all week: Are we headed for war with Iran? Nobody can promise you a date on a calendar. But we can read the signals and talk like adults. What the satellite photos suggest Iran is rushing to restore what it can use quickly: ballistic missiles. Why? Because missiles are the regime’s favorite tool for pressure and revenge. If Tehran thinks it might get hit again, it wants to be able to strike Israel and U.S. assets fast. That’s basic strategy. The nuclear side is slower and riskier for them right now. It draws international heat and invites another strike. So they do the next best thing: stabilize, rebuild cover, move things underground, and buy time. What the Oman talks really mean Diplomacy can be good if it forces real limits, real inspections, and real consequences. But Iran has a long history of using talks as a shield: negotiate, stall, demand “respect,” and keep building behind closed doors. Iran is not coming to the table because it “found peace.” It’s coming because it’s under pressure. The regime is weak at home: protests, economic trouble, fear. Weak regimes don’t suddenly become nicer. They become more desperate.
