The Israeli defense establishment has raised its alert level to high in anticipation of a possible Iranian attack, according to reports. The United States has begun returning aerial refueling aircraft to its bases in the Middle East, and Israeli assessments indicate that Washington will provide a green light for an Israeli military response in Iran.
The development follows an earlier report Wednesday evening, covered by The Zioneer, that US refueling aircraft were returning to Israel. The latest reports suggest a broader repositioning of these assets across the region.
The heightened alert and the US posture come against the backdrop of a series of US strikes on Iran in late June, which were launched in response to an Iranian attack on an American vessel, as The Zioneer has reported. Iran has since warned of a crushing response to any further action. Israeli officials have conveyed messages to Washington emphasizing that any Israeli operation would be limited to military targets.
