Iran at the Brink: Diplomacy Tested as the Shadow of War Grows

Tensions in the Middle East are escalating rapidly. With the U.S. Navy’s Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group positioned near Iran and diplomatic efforts struggling to gain traction, the prospect of conflict is no longer abstract—it is real.
