A report Thursday morning says the United States has informed Israel that it intends to escalate its air campaign against Iran, using heavy bombers for the first time and targeting the underground Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility, according to the report.
Thursday's report adds a specific target to the previously reported US plan to use heavy bombers against Iran. The Zioneer reported on Wednesday evening that the US had informed Israel of planned heavy bomber strikes on Iran, citing military correspondent Itai Blumenthal. An early Thursday bulletin stated that the US had said it would attack Iran with heavy bombers. The latest report, which does not name a source, identifies the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site as the intended target. The escalation marks a significant increase in the US aerial campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, which has included multiple waves of strikes. The report remains unverified, and the timing of the operation has not been specified.
