U.S. military forces have been placed on heightened readiness, and officials told CNN that strike options are available, though no final order has been issued.
The United States has increased its military presence in the region following last year’s joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Washington is demanding that Tehran abandon uranium enrichment and curb missile development.
Iran has rejected broader negotiations and continues military drills with Russia. Diplomacy remains active, but tensions are rising as the deadline approaches.
