Iran Preparing For War?

If nuclear agreement negotiations between the U.S. and Iran fall through, it may lead to a serious conflict.

Israel’s Channel 10 is reporting that Middle Eastern intelligence agencies have reached out to Britain, France and America, among other nations, to tell them that Iran’s military is preparing for war if they all cannot agree on terms regarding the country’s nuclear programs.

The framework for a potential agreement was announced by both the U.S. and Iran last week, but there was still clear confusion on both sides at the time. The deadline for the countries to reach an agreement is June 30, according to The Blaze.

According to the Channel 10 report, Iran is worried that the recent backlash it has received since the framework was announced may “spur a total collapse of efforts to reach a final agreement.”
The first step towards conflict would be Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, which they are ready to do. The passage is used by multiple countries for oil shipments.

America is also taking precautions in case the talks with Iran end.

The Blaze points out that The Wall Street Journal reported the Pentagon "upgraded and tested the largest bunker-buster bomb in the U.S. arsenal ... readying a weapon that could destroy or disable Iran's most heavily fortified nuclear facilities should a nuclear deal fall apart and the White House decide to take military action."

Besides the backlash America has faced within Congress regarding the agreement when the plans were announced last week, Saudi Arabia and Israel are also not on board. All three parties do not believe the agreement is harsh enough towards Iran.
