US informs Israel of plans to intensify attacks on Iran

TEL AVIV, Israel (MNTV) – The United States has informed Israel that it plans to intensify the war on Iran over the coming days, the Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.

Citing unnamed Israeli and US security sources, KAN said Washington has told Tel Aviv that it prefers to keep Israel out of the current phase of the escalation.

According to the report, assessments shared during strategic consultations between the two allies indicate that Iran could launch attacks on Israel, potentially triggering an Israeli strike inside Iran, a scenario that Washington is seeking to avoid for now.

KAN also said the US has strengthened its military presence in the region, sending additional equipment and munitions to Israel to support American warplanes.

More than 10 US refueling aircraft have arrived in Israel from Europe and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar as part of preparations for Iranian attacks on American interests in the region, it added.

Separately, the Israeli news website Walla quoted an unnamed Israeli Air Force source as saying that the US military plans to deploy 100 aerial refueling aircraft to Israeli military bases and Ramon Airport in southern Israel.

The source said any further escalation in US attacks on Iran would require additional American refueling aircraft to be stationed in Israel.

Walla added that some of the aircraft could also operate from Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, noting that 14 additional US refueling aircraft had already arrived in Israel over the weekend.

The US has escalated attacks against Iran in recent days, with Iran retaliating with strikes targeting facilities and bases it says are used by the US military in several regional countries.
