Trump’s Venezuela-style op to fail spectacularly? Iran prepares devastating welcome for US commandos

Tensions are escalating between Donald Trump and Ali Khamenei as Washington considers strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile facilities, with reports also mentioning a possible commando raid. Satellite imagery shows entrances buried at the Isfahan nuclear complex, likely to block special-forces access and reduce air-strike impact. The U.S. is reinforcing the region, sending the USS Gerald R. Ford to join USS Abraham Lincoln along with destroyers and missile defenses. Even as diplomacy continues, Iran has showcased missiles and warned of retaliation, fuelling fears of a broader regional conflict.
