Dozens of Israeli fighter jets reportedly flew near Iran's border during a training exercise on Monday, according to Axios, which cited U.S. and Israeli officials. The aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, allegedly traversed Syrian and Iraqi airspace before returning to Israel. U.S. officials told Axios that Israel had informed Washington of the operation, framing it as a show of force intended to deter Iran from attacking ahead of the Israeli legislative elections on October 27. Some sources familiar with the matter suggested such flights are not uncommon. The training route reportedly mirrored paths taken in previous strikes against Iran. U.S. officials also indicated that Israel was aware Iranian air defense systems would detect the aircraft. Meanwhile, Iran's Fars news agency, which is linked to the Revolutionary Guards, reported on Wednesday that Tehran now considers a U.S.-Israeli attack "certain." Citing an Iranian official, Fars added that American political figures could be targeted if an operation aimed to assassinate Iranian leaders.
