US President Donald Trump has officially authorized Secretary Marco Rubio to extend a shocking "last-ditch" offer to Ayatollah Khamenei—a face-to-face summit to end the nuclear standoff forever. But make no mistake: the "Big Stick" is already in the water. With the world`s largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford, ordered to join the USS Abraham Lincoln in a massive naval pincer, Iran is officially encircled. 

The Middle East is entering one of its most dangerous phases in recent years. The United States has begun positioning major military assets around Iran, preparing strike options that could target key sites in Tehran if diplomacy fails. According to multiple reports, strike forces and carrier groups are already in place, signaling that Washington is ready for a sustained military operation if tensions escalate further. President Donald Trump has openly expressed frustration over stalled nuclear negotiations with Iran, warning that the US is prepared to resolve the situation decisively. His remarks come as Washington increases military presence across the region, combining strategic pressure with last-minute diplomatic efforts. The message is clear, diplomacy remains an option, but military action is no longer off the table. WATCH
