The U.S. Central Command has informed Israeli military representatives in the United States of the need to prepare for the possibility of resuming military operations against Iran in the near future, according to an American source. These messages, conveyed through security channels to Israel, are also being sent to Gulf states. This development contrasts with recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who indicated he saw no need to resume military operations against Iran. Concurrently, the United States is continuing to send military reinforcements to the Middle East. The U.S. currently has approximately 200 refueling aircraft stationed in bases across the Middle East and Europe. For the first time since June, two American aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and USS George Bush, are deployed in the region, with a third carrier, the USS Roosevelt, expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week. Additionally, the U.S. has increased its troop presence by thousands in its Middle East bases and deployed military systems, including air defense systems. However, an American source told Al Jazeera on the evening of the report that claims of a U.S. request for Israel to prepare for renewed war with Iran are merely speculative.
