Ask what Korea is talking about.

US forces have completed deployment for a large-scale military operation against Iran, ready to act within 96 hours of a presidential order, according to CNN as reported by Dong-A Ilbo on October 26. The report notes that after a period of relative calm, Middle East tensions are again heading toward the risk of full-scale war. Yonhap and other outlets have not directly covered this specific development, but the Korea Times on October 24 reported that President Trump revived the idea of military intervention in Cuba, suggesting US warships returning from the Middle East could stop over there. Korean media are framing this as a renewed escalation, with Dong-A Ilbo quoting concerns that the situation is "hurtling toward another full-scale war crisis."
