What happened

  1. 01Israeli F-35I jets, with U.S. logistical support, reportedly conducted a simulated strike mission over Iran.
  2. 02The exercise was described as a "general rehearsal" for attacking fortified targets deep within Iran.
  3. 03Aerial refueling, reportedly over Iraq, was a critical component due to the long distances to Iranian targets.
  4. 04Electronic warfare systems were tested to disrupt Iranian air defense and tracking capabilities.
  5. 05The activities suggest preparations are moving beyond theoretical planning to practical testing of operational components.
  6. 06Neither the U.S. nor Israel has officially confirmed a decision to launch an attack.

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.
