US military buildup in the Middle East signals a possible strike on Iran’s regime, with analysts suggesting it could lead to regime collapse within weeks.
“As I understand it, this is the biggest military buildup in the Middle East since 2003,” Col. Richard Kemp, a former British Army commander, told The Media Line. He paused on the comparison. The amount of force now in place, he said, is greater than what was visible during the 12-day war in June 2025. “It’s very significant military power,” he added.
For weeks, the word “imminent” has circulated in Washington and across the region. But timelines remain unclear. It could unfold quickly. It could take longer. Kemp’s focus was less on rhetoric and more on the military posture taking shape around Iran.
“I think it’s likely there will be a military strike, but I don’t think you’d say it’s inevitable,” he said. “I think it’s very likely.”

- Has sworn out destruction - They added forceful intent with the direct, or indirect killing or maiming of thousands of US serve members - They refuse to give up the eventual means to make their threat come true
It is in the essential interests of the US to effect regime change in Iran.
“...to effect regime change...”
Not for nothing, but that’s some hella clinical language right there.
The military is designed to kill people and break things. Will this suffice?
“...to effect regime change...”
Any action that does not accomplish that goal is wasted.
Iran only has their ballistic missiles, and nothing else. Their military is otherwise nothing. It is expected that Iran might fire off everything towards Israel, because there is nothing else they can do.
” It is expected that Iran might fire off everything towards Israel, because there is nothing else they can do.”
Do not underestimate the amount of precision air power the US will employ.
There are a lot of target that will be hit, early.
You forget terrorism. How many came across the border when china jo was in office?
Sheer insanity.
“You forget terrorism.”
There’s decades long animus by the American people that will ensure their first shot is their last.
“Sheer insanity.”
What is, exactly?
I contend waiting until they have the bomb qualifies.
I am aware of the US military might. I’m just saying that is all Iran can do. It’s military capability otherise, whether air or sea or ground, is nothing.
Total annihilation of the enemy is the Military job. Regime change isn’t...if the results works then great if not you annihilate again.
They e already done that with little damage
Kill people, and break their things!
“Total annihilation of the enemy is the Military job. “
That is the method by which regime change is accomplished.
In all cases.
We might very well see new advancement in technology unleashed on Iran if we go to war, similar to the advancement on display during Desert Storm.
Yes, they are probably quite depleted. Last year, the US and Israel strategically softened up IRan, I think, in order to finish it off this year.
Well that whole business in Iraq went so well; how could this possibly go wrong.
My prayer is that the Mullahs and IRGC just surrender peacefully, and the Iranian people start the murder trials. If they don’t they need to be destroyed.
“Well that whole business in Iraq went so well; how could this possibly go wrong.”
You appear unaware of the differing force structures.
There will be no US troops engaging in combat in Iran.
> their first shot is their last <
They don’t have to shoot at all. Muslims love their bombs. So they could just place an improvised explosive device at a busy area, then walk away.
Maybe park a car on a city street. Or leave a backpack on a crowded subway.
Trump’s predecessors let these monsters in. Fortunately, Trump is now in charge. He will rain hell on anyone even remotely connected to such an act.
