The U.S. Central Command has informed Israeli military officials to prepare for the potential resumption of hostilities with Iran in the near future. According to a U.S. official, these warnings are being shared not only with Jerusalem but also with Gulf states. This development contrasts with recent statements by President Donald Trump, who indicated he saw no reason to re-engage in military conflict with Tehran, as reported by Kan News. Washington continues to deploy military assets to the region, currently maintaining approximately 200 refueling aircraft across Middle Eastern and European bases. Two aircraft carriers are operational in the area, with a third expected to join them in the Arabian Sea next week. Thousands of American soldiers are also stationed at U.S. bases in the Middle East, operating various systems including air defense. Amidst this security update, Avigdor Lieberman stated on Thursday that Netanyahu lacks the authority to attack Iran. Separately, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a two-hour security briefing with Gadi Eisenkot, who holds the mandate to form a government. Netanyahu's military secretary also attended the meeting, which focused on "the security and political challenges facing the State of Israel."
