  • U.S. Central Command has alerted Israel to prepare for a potential renewed military campaign against Iran.
  • The U.S. is also sending similar warnings to Gulf states as part of regional security coordination.
  • The military communications contrast with President Trump's public statements against renewing conflict.
  • The U.S. is increasing its military presence in the Middle East with refueling aircraft and carriers.
  • Two U.S. aircraft carriers are currently in the region, with a third expected soon.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has recently conveyed messages to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) representatives in the United States, urging Israel to prepare for the possibility of a renewed military campaign against Iran in the near future. This report, citing an American official, was broadcast by Kan News on Thursday.

Similar messages are reportedly being sent to Gulf states as part of ongoing security coordination between the U.S. and its regional allies. These military-to-military communications stand in contrast to recent public statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has indicated he does not see a need to restart military operations against Iran.

Concurrently, the United States is bolstering its military presence in the Middle East. The U.S. military currently has approximately 200 refueling aircraft stationed at bases across the Middle East and Europe. Furthermore, for the first time since June, two American aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and the USS George H.W. Bush, are operating in the region. A third carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, is expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week.

In addition to naval and air assets, thousands of American soldiers are stationed at bases throughout the Middle East, operating various military systems, including air defense. This extensive military buildup and the messages relayed to Israel and Gulf nations suggest that the U.S. security establishment is preparing for a scenario of renewed conflict with Iran, despite President Trump's differing public stance.
