00:2430,000 to 40,000 U.S. troops.
00:30Two aircraft carrier strike groups.
00:34Advanced missile defense systems.
00:37The question everyone is asking right now,
00:40is America preparing for something much bigger in the Middle East?
00:47The United States is rapidly expanding its military presence around Iran.
00:54The Pentagon has confirmed that the USS Gerald R. Ford
00:58is heading to the region to join the USS Abraham Lincoln.
01:01Together, they form one of the most powerful naval combinations on the planet.
01:07Add to that destroyers, fighter jets, surveillance aircraft,
01:12Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems,
01:14and between 30,000 and 40,000 American troops
01:18stationed across bases in Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Jordan.
01:24President Donald Trump says the buildup is preparation for whatever is necessary.
01:29He is warned that if a nuclear deal fails, the consequences for Iran would be very traumatic.
01:35And in a comment that raised eyebrows globally,
01:38he added that a change in Iran's leadership would be the best thing that could happen.
01:42Do you want regime fame in Iran?
01:45Well, it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.
01:49For 47 years, they've been talking and talking and talking.
01:52In the meantime, we've lost a lot of lives while they talk.
01:56And legs blown off, arms blown off, faces blown off.
02:00It's been going on for a long time.
02:02So let's see what happens.
02:04In the meantime, we have tremendous power has arrived.
02:08And additional power, as you know, and other carriers going out shortly.
02:13So we'll see it out.
02:14If we could get it settled for once and for all, that'd be good.
02:17That immediately sparked speculation.
02:20Is this just pressure?
02:22Or is Washington signaling something far more dramatic?
02:26This comes after months of unrest inside Iran.
02:29Nationwide protests erupted over economic collapse and currency devaluation.
02:34Security forces cracked down hard.
02:37Thousands were reportedly killed.
02:38And mass arrests followed.
02:40At the same time, nuclear negotiations remain deadlocked.
02:44Iran refuses to discuss its missile program.
02:47Washington wants a broader deal.
02:49Neither side wants to blink.
02:52Reports suggest the Pentagon is preparing for possible sustained operations if diplomacy collapses.
02:58That could mean airstrikes on nuclear facilities, targeting missile sites, disrupting military command centers.
03:08Meanwhile, Iran is fortifying underground nuclear sites and warning that any attack would trigger all-out war.
03:15This is deterrence on both sides.
03:19Let's be clear.
03:20There is no official declaration of invasion.
03:23There is no confirmed plan for regime change.
03:26But when you hear language about leadership change, and you see 40,000 troops positioned nearby, speculation spreads fast.
03:37Overthrowing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would be an entirely different level of escalation.
03:42One that could reshape the Middle East overnight.
03:45Oil markets are already reacting.
03:48Regional allies are nervous.
03:50Israel is urging tougher action.
03:52And Iran says any strike will hit U.S. bases across the region.
03:57The coming weeks are critical.
04:00Will this massive military presence force a deal?
04:04Or are we watching the early stages of a much larger confrontation?
