Will Putin stand between US & Iran? Russia offers peace help as Pentagon readies its forces | Trump

Is the U.S.-Iran war about to enter an even more dangerous phase? Israel’s Channel 12 reported on October 8 that senior American officials informed Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir about preparations for a possible major U.S. attack on Iran within three weeks. According to the report, the Pentagon instructed U.S. Central Command to prepare for renewed fighting, potentially alongside Israeli forces. Israeli assessments also warned that Tehran could retaliate with a massive missile barrage. However, no attack date had been fixed and President Donald Trump had not made a final decision. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Turkmenistan and offered Russia’s help in reaching a diplomatic settlement. As Washington reportedly prepares for another military escalation and Moscow strengthens ties with Tehran, could a renewed U.S.-Iran conflict draw the world’s major powers into a wider confrontation?
