Media analyst Talal Nahleh warns that the coming 72 hours represent the most dangerous phase of the current escalation.
A widening contradiction is emerging between diplomatic messaging from Trump and escalating military preparations on the ground — including strategic bomber drills and reported airspace restrictions over Kuwait — suggesting that a decision point may already have been reached.
Most likely (and most dangerous) scenario:
Under pressure from Netanyahu and hawks within his administration, and following completion of a major munitions airbridge, Trump could use Iran’s refusal to remove enriched uranium and alleged threats in the Strait of Hormuz as justification for a sudden and intensive air and missile campaign.
Targets reportedly include Isfahan and Iranian nuclear facilities — with Israeli participation becoming highly probable if strikes resume, according to Haaretz.
⚠️ Iranian response outlook:
Iran, having already removed obstacles at the entrances of the “Abyek” missile facility and issuing warnings of a response more intense than the 39-day war scenario, is expected to retaliate without hesitation.
The response may include:
Hundreds of daily ballistic missile launches toward Israeli military and strategic sites
Potential expansion to Gulf energy infrastructure, treated by Tehran as complicit in the escalation
The closure of Kuwaiti airspace is being read as a clear signal that Gulf capitals are anticipating incoming retaliatory waves.
