BlockBeats News, February 19 — According to CNN, the U.S. military has currently deployed fighter jets, early warning aircraft, and drones in several countries including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. military has also deployed multiple destroyers and littoral combat ships near the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz. In the North Arabian Sea, there is the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which includes the F-35C Lightning II fighter jet. The Ford carrier strike group is expected to arrive as early as this weekend.
While a large number of U.S. naval and air forces are gathering in the Middle East, Trump has just stated, “We are having good conversations with Iran, and we must reach a meaningful agreement with Iran. We will find an answer to the Iran issue within about 10 days. I no longer care about the Nobel Peace Prize.”
According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of the U.S. striking Iran before the end of February has risen to 25%, before March 15 to 45%, and before the end of March to 56%.
