00:00The skies over the Middle East are filling with American power.
00:24More than 112 U.S. Air Force C-17 military transport planes have landed or are heading toward
00:32the region, one of the largest airlifts seen in years.
00:36Heavy equipment, missile defenses, and thousands of troops are moving into position.
00:42As Washington talks peace with Tehran in Oman, the Pentagon is preparing for war.
00:49President Donald Trump says talks with Iran were very good, but his warning was unmistakable.
00:56If Tehran refuses a deal, he says, the consequences will be very steep.
01:03Behind the diplomacy, the U.S. military is building a strike force capable of hitting Iran within
01:09hours.
01:11The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Group is now moving closer to Iranian waters.
01:17F-35 stealth fighters, Tomahawk missiles, and Patriot air defenses are being deployed across
01:24the Gulf.
01:25Navy Admiral Brad Cooper, America's top commander in the region, attended the Oman talks in full
01:32uniform, a clear signal that negotiations are backed by firepower.
01:38This buildup follows a direct clash at sea.
01:41Just days ago, a U.S. F-35 shot down an Iranian drone that approached the carrier aggressively.
01:50Washington called it self-defense.
01:52Tehran claimed the drone completed its mission and was monitoring U.S. movements.
01:58Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, has fired back, warning that any American attack
02:04would ignite a regional war.
02:07Iranian commanders say U.S. bases and ships across the Gulf would be immediate targets.
02:14At the same time, Washington is tightening the economic noose.
02:18New sanctions now target Iran's shadow oil fleet, companies and individuals accused of
02:24funding the nuclear and missile programs.
02:27The message from the White House, pressure first, force if needed.
02:33Memories of last year's 12-day Iran-Israel war loom large.
02:38That conflict, joined by U.S. forces, showed how quickly escalation can spiral beyond control.
02:45Now the same region is bracing again.
02:49Diplomacy continues, but so does preparation for the largest U.S. strike option in decades.
02:56With transport planes pouring in, carriers advancing, and both sides trading threats,
03:02the Middle East stands on a knife edge.
03:05Talks may resume next week, but the aircraft are already here.
03:10The missiles are already loaded.
03:13Whether this ends in a deal or in the biggest U.S. strike on Iran in modern history
03:18may be decided in days.
