Tensions between the United States and Iran have sharply escalated following an alleged attack on a US military base in Jordan, in which two American soldiers were reportedly killed and another went missing. According to the report, President Donald Trump has authorised the US Central Command (CENTCOM) to prepare a full-scale military response against Iran and its alleged proxy network. Citing Pentagon sources, the report says Trump instructed military commanders to deliver a decisive response, using the phrase “open the gates of hell” for Iran. The report further alleges that US naval and air forces have increased military activity across the Middle East, signalling preparations for possible retaliatory operations. It also references previous alleged US strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities to suggest a pattern of escalation. However, these claims have not been independently verified. If confirmed, the developments would represent a major escalation in the US–Iran confrontation, raising concerns about wider regional conflict and international security.
