What forces and weapons could be involved in a potential conflict

Earlier, on April 6, a member of the unicameral parliament, Mohammad Qasim Osmani, said that Iran should begin a rapid movement towards the creation of nuclear weapons in order to be able to negotiate with the United States on equal terms. According to him, it is reasonable and logical to avoid a military conflict, but "global arrogance has left Iran no other way."

On April 2, US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with "disappearance by September" if the country does not agree to the nuclear deal and does not curtail its program. The American leader has already warned Tehran that failure to conclude an agreement would lead to bombing of the Islamic Republic. On the same day, it became known that the United States and Israel could strike Iran in order to allegedly eliminate the threat posed by its nuclear program. It was clarified that the countries are preparing for a military operation against Tehran.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on April 3 that threats of attacks on Iran's nuclear energy infrastructure were unacceptable, as they could lead to irreversible radiological and humanitarian consequences.
