Iran Strike Brewing? Secret US-Israel Pentagon Meet Sparks Global Buzz

Washington/Tehran, February 2, 2026: Dark clouds of war loom larger over the Middle East. A clandestine Pentagon meeting between top US and Israeli military brass has ignited worldwide speculation about a major strike on Iran. It comes amid Iran’s stark warning that any attack could ignite a catastrophic regional war.

Reports detail closed-door talks in Washington between US General Dan Kane and Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Zamir rushed back to brief Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Mossad head David Barnea—signaling a fresh strategy against Iran’s nuclear program or regional moves.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei fired back sharply: Iran won’t start a war, but any US assault will trigger a response rippling far beyond two nations, devastating America and its allies across the region.

US President Donald Trump’s latest remarks ratcheted up tensions. He revealed the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group advancing toward Iran, with little time left for Tehran to negotiate. Despite earlier reports of Saudi Arabia and UAE urging Trump to hold back, this Pentagon huddle has reignited strike fears.
