Israel, US Conduct Iran Attack Rehearsal Over Iranian Airspace

Israeli F-35I jets, with U.S. logistical support, reportedly conducted a simulated strike mission over Iran, practicing deep penetration and aerial refueling. The exercise, described as a "general rehearsal," tested electronic warfare systems and aimed to overcome Iranian air defenses. While preparations appear to be moving beyond theory, neither the U.S. nor Israel has confirmed a decision to attack, leaving open whether the actions are for deterrence or operational readiness.
