Today, the U.S. and Iran moved one step closer to a direct clash — and it happened in two flashpoints, just hours apart.

On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, a U.S. Navy F-35C launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln and shot down an Iranian drone in the Arabian Sea after it flew toward the carrier with unclear intent. Then, in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian IRGC speedboats and a drone rushed a U.S.-flagged tanker and threatened to board and seize it — until a U.S. destroyer and aircraft surged in and forced them to back off.

This isn’t just another “Gulf incident.” It’s a test of red lines, response times, and political resolve — happening days before high-stakes U.S.–Iran talks planned for Friday, February 6, 2026. And behind the scenes, Tehran is reportedly trying to rewrite the terms: change the venue, narrow the agenda, and control who’s in the room.

In this breakdown, I walk through what happened, why the timing matters, and the 5 signals to watch in the next 72 hours — because the next move could decide whether diplomacy survives… or the region ignites.

Comment below: Was this sabotage… or negotiation by intimidation?
