00:22A bold, behind-the-scenes strategy may be unfolding in Washington.
00:39According to sources familiar with the discussions, the plan would involve Israel striking Iran
00:45first, provoking retaliation that could target U.S. assets.
00:50This, officials believe, could create a pretext for American intervention while shielding
00:56Trump from political backlash at home.
01:00The strategy relies on political optics, portraying the United States as a reluctant defender rather
01:07than the aggressor, making it easier to rally public support for war.
01:13Polls show Americans favor regime change in Iran, yet many oppose direct U.S. casualties,
01:20fueling the calculus behind this approach.
01:22One source described the mindset in the administration.
01:26The politics play out much smoother if Israel takes the heat first, strikes alone, and draws
01:33Iranian fire toward us, giving Trump cover to escalate.
01:38As diplomatic hopes fade in Geneva, Trump's team, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner,
01:45prepare for a last-ditch diplomatic push.
01:48Yet, insiders suggest the administration is already preparing for military action, with
01:54Israel potentially absorbing the opening salvos.
01:59Meanwhile, the United States has deployed its largest military buildup in the region since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
02:07Two aircraft carrier strike groups, fighter jets, refueling planes and surveillance aircraft are now on
02:14standby, signaling readiness for escalation.
02:18Pentagon officials and Congress have raised alarms about the risks.
02:22Sustained strikes could deplete munitions, embolden China regarding Taiwan,
02:27and put U.S. forces in the Middle East at risk from Iranian retaliation.
02:33Reportedly, Trump's options include a limited initial strike to coerce concessions, followed by escalation if negotiations fail.
02:41The underlying strategy remains clear.
02:44Allow an ally to bear the initial risks, while the U.S. positions itself as a measured responder.
02:51With Iran, Israel, and the United States on high alert, the world watches closely.
02:57Behind closed doors in Washington, strategy, politics, and military might collide, leaving the Middle East on edge like never before.
