These messages, conveyed through diplomatic and military channels, align with growing indications that both the U.S. and Israel are readying for a new phase of significant military actions targeting Iran.
Official sources told the newspaper that the U.S. military is deploying a "Patriot" missile defense system from Texas to bolster defenses against missile attacks. Additionally, U.S. forces have been moved from bases vulnerable to attack as a precaution against potential escalation.
