This is when the US will be forced to attack Iran
With fresh damage footage from the Fordow facility and heightened rhetoric from Iranian officials, the clock ticks toward a potential confrontation.

In the dim corridors of power, where maps of missile trajectories overlap with diplomatic cables, the world holds its breath. A recent report from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath channel, citing unnamed sources, paints a somber picture: the United States estimates it has roughly one year before it may be forced to strike Iran's nuclear program once more. "Washington does not want to give Tehran a chance to rebuild its strength," the sources revealed, as reported by Israel Hayom.
The assessment comes amid fresh footage from Fordow, Iran's fortified underground nuclear site, showing the scars of recent attacks.
Parallel to this military calculus, the U.S. is exerting quiet but intense pressure on China to halt its purchases of Iranian oil, aiming to starve Tehran's regime of vital revenue. According to the report, Beijing has shown interest in discounted alternatives, a pragmatic pivot that could isolate Iran further. Yet, in Tehran, defiance rings loud. Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh declared, "Tehran is not rushing into any indirect contact or negotiation framework with the U.S.," warning that "escalation in tension is always possible when the other side is Israel and the U.S."
Armed Forces Commander General Amir Hatami added a grim note: "Israel's threats still exist... We must treat every 1% threat as 100%. We cannot belittle the enemy." He affirmed Iran's drones and missiles remain on high alert, a stark reminder of the powder keg beneath the rhetoric.
This revelation stirs memories of past confrontations, the covert operations, the cyber strikes, the lives lost in the shadows. Just three weeks ago, President Trump voiced support for another Israeli strike if Iran resumes weapon development, telling Netanyahu he hoped it wouldn't come to that but endorsing contingency plans. Intelligence assessments warn of enriched uranium stockpiles rebuilding, each gram a step closer to an existential threshold.
