The first 0:59 3.5 / 10

The war between America and Israel and Iran never really stopped. It only paused. Now, missile defenses are moving, carriers are sailing, and the Americans are warning their Gulf allies of a new, fresh, short, but intense round of war. In the next report, we tell you how close are we really to the brink. Take a look. The missiles may be quiet, but the war machine is moving.

Written by Hook Detector, not said in the video: The Iran war never really ended; it only paused. Now a third American carrier group is sailing toward West Asia, US forces across the Gulf can strike within ninety-six hours of an order, and Washington has warned Gulf allies of a short, intense round after the midterms. How close are we to the brink?
