An assessment warns that the United States is steadily building up forces and striking Iran nightly, while the US-Iran memorandum of understanding is effectively dead, pointing to an imminent regional escalation. The analysis raises the question of whether and when Israel would join US strikes on Iran, and whether Iran would retaliate against Israel.
The assessment, published by reports, tracks the US military buildup and nightly strikes on Iranian targets, noting that the pattern of strikes suggests operational utility and accumulation of gains toward a broader operation in the Strait of Hormuz. The analysis points to the collapse of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, which both sides have declared effectively dead, as a key indicator of escalating tensions.
The assessment also notes that the threat level from Iranian officials is rising, as is the scope of Iranian attacks and damage in Arab states. It warns that President Trump will find it difficult to 'move on' from the killing of US soldiers in Jordan.
This assessment comes as The Zioneer has reported extensive US airstrikes on Iran over recent weeks, including multiple consecutive nights of operations targeting air defenses and missile sites. The analysis raises the central question of whether Israel will be drawn into the confrontation, and whether Iran would choose to strike Israel as part of an escalation. The situation remains fluid, and the assessment is based on open-source indicators rather than confirmed operational plans.
