"Doomsday" Mobilization: Washington Shifts from Negotiation Games to the Brink of Confrontation

"Doomsday" Mobilization: Washington Shifts from Negotiation Games to the Brink of Confrontation

"Doomsday" Mobilization: Washington Shifts from Negotiation Games to the Brink of Confrontation

The recurring American playbook has begun once again. Washington resorts to a "maximum pressure" policy to force Iran to the negotiating table, only to pursue unilateral negotiations aimed at dictating and imposing all its terms. When this fails, it deliberately sabotages the negotiating track by leaking information and launching an intensive media campaign against Iran—placing the blame internally while mounting escalating economic and psychological pressure in coordination with oligarchic networks.

This is accompanied by a deliberate surge in Dollar and Gold prices and intensified psychological warfare against the people, all to pave the way for an operational opportunity.

In this context, the past 24 hours have witnessed a striking military escalation reflecting the diplomatic dead-end. Squadrons of U.S. strategic aircraft were spotted taking off, including:

* B-52 and B-1 Bombers: Heavy strategic bombers; tools of mass destruction. * RC-135 and E-3B Aircraft: Spy and early warning planes; the eyes of the battlefield. * E-6 Aircraft: Nuclear command and communications relay. * "Doomsday Plane" (E-4B): The total war command center, deployed only during existential threats or preparation for major strikes.

When this fleet moves in unison, it is not a traditional show of force, but a step aimed at calibrating coordinates for the post-collapse phase. It appears Washington has decided to replace the negotiation papers—burned by American intransigence—with "wings of destruction."

The message is no longer coded: the era of talking in closed rooms is over, and the era of engines above the clouds has begun.

However, what the U.S. administration fails to realize is that the rules of the game have changed, and calculations built above the clouds may shatter against the rock of regional reality. As Imam Khamenei warned on Sunday:

"If America ignites a war, this time it will be regional."

In light of this scene, betting on negotiation ploys is no longer an option. Hands must remain on the trigger; steadfastness is a duty, without wavering or being deceived by the noise of false diplomacy.

Iranian Foreign Minister: Nuclear talks with the United States are scheduled to be held in Muscat at around 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
