A broad readiness deployment has begun, with all relevant forces being mobilized in preparation for a possible escalation with Iran in the coming days, according to a security source.
Early Thursday, Israel began a broad mobilization of all relevant forces, preparing for a possible escalation with Iran in the coming days, according to a security source. The move is the latest in a series of readiness steps taken over the past 24 hours.
On Wednesday, a series of reports indicated that Israel had raised its readiness for a potential direct confrontation with Iran. The Israeli public broadcaster Kan 11 reported that the likelihood of renewed fire toward Israel had increased, citing assessments that President Trump's threat to strike Iranian infrastructure raised the risk of Israeli involvement. A separate report said Israel was preparing for several days of intensified fighting. Additionally, the United States had reportedly requested British approval to use strategic bombers from British territory, as The Zioneer reported on Wednesday.
The current mobilization follows earlier alerts reported by The Zioneer on July 20, when the IDF raised its alert to a peak level and senior officials assessed that the chance of escalation with Iran had increased significantly. That same day, the Home Front Command ordered its forces to be prepared for immediate deployment. Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has also reported on Iran placing its security forces on highest alert, US CENTCOM warnings, and Israeli security sources anticipating further US escalation.
The scope of forces involved and the specific timeline for the potential escalation remain unclear.
