The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has requested that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) prepare for a potential resumption of military operations against Iran in the near future, according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan. These communications were reportedly conveyed in recent days to Israeli military representatives in the United States by a U.S. official. Similar warnings have also been issued to Gulf countries as part of security coordination between Washington and its regional allies. These exchanges occur despite recent public statements by U.S. President Donald Trump indicating he does not deem it necessary to restart hostilities with Iran. The discrepancy between the president's public remarks and the messages from U.S. military officials suggests a desire to keep regional forces ready for a new confrontation, although no decision to resume strikes has been announced. In parallel, the United States is continuing to bolster its military presence in the Middle East. Approximately 200 U.S. refueling aircraft are currently deployed at bases in the region and in Europe, intended to support large-scale air operations should combat resume. U.S. naval presence has also been significantly increased, with two aircraft carriers, the George Washington and the George H. W. Bush, now in the region for the first time since June. A third carrier, the Theodore Roosevelt, is expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week. Several thousand U.S. troops are stationed at various bases in the Middle East, where they are involved in operating air defense systems.
