Trump ready for ‘sustained’ strikes on Iran as US military executes ‘unprecedented’ Middle East buildup

>the sheer [scale of forces now positioned in the region ](https://nypost.com/2026/02/17/world-news/iran-and-us-agree-guiding-principles-of-nuclear-deal-tehran-says/)alone is highly unusual — and unprecedented in recent decades, former Pentagon official and Atlantic Council fellow Alex Plitsas told The Post.

Today’s American destroyers can do with surgical obliteration what WW2 battleships did with boom-boom-boom. There will never be another legit military reason for us to level cities again, because now enemy forces can be deleted with precision from extreme distance. Pushing our way into enemy-held France took a toll on French civilians.

What will happen between missiles and their targets will be no contest, the air defenses are gone and if they weren’t gone they already proved useless in the last kingsnatcher raid.
