Iran’s “Dena revenge” operation is signalling a dangerous escalation, with drone strikes now targeting U.S. positions beyond the Gulf. Reports of hits near Jordan’s Azraq base have intensified fears of a widening battlefield just as fresh American troops enter the region. Tehran is issuing chilling warnings, hinting it is prepared for a direct ground confrontation if tensions spiral further. Meanwhile, Washington maintains that diplomacy is still possible, even as military deployments surge. With threats, counter-threats, and new fronts opening, the conflict is entering an unpredictable phase that could reshape the entire Middle East security landscape.
