High-stakes nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran in Geneva have just concluded without a deal, pushing the region closer to the brink of conflict.
Military Posture: As the U.S. delegation (led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner) leaves for consultations, the Pentagon has confirmed that F-22 fighter jets and carrier groups are now massing in the Middle East as a "precautionary" measure.
The Glimmer of Hope: Despite the deadlock, Omani mediators claim "significant progress" was made on technical levels, and another round of talks is tentatively scheduled for next week in Vienna.
