War fears are surging as Iran warns that U.S. and Israeli strikes may hide a darker goal. IRGC-linked sources claim future attacks could be designed to expose the hiding place of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The alarm comes as American warships, bombers and missile defenses move closer to Iran. Tehran says any strike will turn every U.S. base in the region into a target. Adding to the tension, the UAE has barred its skies and waters from any assault on Iran, complicating Washington’s plans.
