Tel aviv: The Israeli Air Force, Military Intelligence (Aman), and the Northern Command have heightened their alert levels amid expectations of a possible US military strike on Iran. This development was reported by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, highlighting increased vigilance within Israeli defense sectors as tensions rise.
According to National Iraqi News Agency, Israeli military sources have indicated that while no official decisions have been made regarding changes to the state of readiness on the Israeli home front, the alert levels of key military units have been elevated. The ongoing monitoring of developments underscores the anticipation of a US military action targeting Tehran, shifting the focus from if to how and when such an operation might occur.
The report also noted the ongoing cooperation between the Israeli army and the US Central Command (CENTCOM), signaling a closer alignment between Israeli and US military strategies. The United States, the report suggests, is approaching a critical juncture in its stance towards Iran, with potential military action appearing increasingly imminent.
In a related development, US President Donald Trump reached out to Iranian protesters via the Truth Social platform, encouraging them to persist in their demonstrations and assuring them that "help is on its way." Trump further announced a suspension of all meetings with Iranian officials until the cessation of violence against protesters.
Meanwhile, international concerns have been voiced, with nations such as China and Russia opposing any US military intervention in Iran's internal matters. These global reactions add another layer of complexity to the unfolding situation.
