⚠️ IRAN SIGNALS CONDITIONAL NUCLEAR TALKS WITH U.S. AS REGIONAL ACTORS URGE DEAL, WHILE ISRAEL MAINTAINS WAR READINESS AND IRANIAN COMMANDERS ISSUE DIRECT THREATS TO U.S. FORCES AMID REPORTED U.S. CARRIER REPOSITIONING

🔸 Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he instructed Foreign Minister Araqhchi to prepare for talks with Washington under specific conditions. He said, "I have instructed Foreign Minister Araqhchi to prepare for talks with Washington, provided the atmosphere is free from threats and unreasonable expectations. My directives to the foreign minister regarding negotiations with Washington came in response to requests from friendly governments in the region. We will hold negotiations with the US within the framework of our national interests".

🔸 Anwar Gargash, an adviser to the Emirati President, urged a nuclear agreement and warned against another U.S.–Iran clash. He said, "West Asia cannot afford another clash between the US and Iran, and Tehran must strike a nuclear agreement with Washington".

🛡️ Israeli military sources told Maariv the U.S.–Iran talks will not change Israel’s operational posture. They said, "The negotiations between Washington and Tehran do not lead us to reduce the level of preparedness of our forces for defense or offense. Our assessment is that the US will launch an attack on Iran".

⚠️ President Trump warned of consequences if no agreement is reached. He said, "If we don't reach a deal with Iran, something bad is likely to happen".

❗️ Iranian commanders issue direct warnings to the United States and highlight threats to U.S. forces. Kiumars Heidari, Deputy Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned the Americans: "If you do not act with prudence toward Iran and its forces, you will regret it and face a harsh response from us."

Continued Iranian threats against U.S. forces included: “The aircraft carrier is a target for us”.

The IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency released a video featuring archival remarks by Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the late commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, in which he describes tracking U.S. vessels in the Gulf and the ability to strike them.

Hajizadeh said, "An aircraft carrier—330 meters long and 70 meters wide, with more than 6,000 crew members and around 70–80 aircraft—is a target for us. If they think that such a presence can generate capability for them in the region, it certainly puts them at a serious disadvantage. I once had a meeting in Iran with the commander of Russia’s air force, and I showed him footage from the Persian Gulf in which we fly drones over aircraft carriers. He asked me: ‘Don’t they shoot? Don’t they see you? Aren’t you afraid?’ I told him: ‘General, let them try us. If they fire, we will fire.’ The capabilities added to our forces in recent years have brought us to a point where the presence of their ships in the region has become ineffective."

⚓ Iranian media reported the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has pulled back about 1,400 kilometers from Iran’s coast ahead of negotiations scheduled for Friday. An Iranian military intelligence officer told Fars News Agency the carrier group is now positioned near the Gulf of Aden and east of Socotra Island, off southern Yemen.

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

  The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran. Carrier-based F-35C Lightning II and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft, supported by aerial refueling, are assessed as able to reach deep into Iranian territory, including nuclear and missile-related sites. The carrier is assessed to be operating roughly 600–1,600 miles from Tehran. The broader U.S. naval posture under U.S. Central Command and European Command includes Tomahawk-capable destroyers USS Mitscher, McFaul, Oscar Austin, Roosevelt, Bulkeley, and Paul Ignatius, and submarines USS South Dakota and USS Georgia, with combined Tomahawk capacity estimated at 358 missiles, rising to approximately 454 when including the Abraham Lincoln strike group. The carrier group includes USS Abraham Lincoln with escort destroyers USS Frank E. Petersen, USS...
