US Tells IDF to Prepare for Possible Resumption of Campaign in Iran

In depth

US Central Command in recent days updated IDF representatives in the United States to prepare for the possibility of resuming the campaign in Iran soon. An American source told Kan News that similar messages were also conveyed to the Gulf states.

The messages contradict the latest statements by President Trump, according to which he does not see a need to resume the military campaign against Iran. At the same time, the US is reinforcing its forces in the Middle East, with the reinforcement including about 200 refueling aircraft and two aircraft carriers already in the region. A third aircraft carrier is expected to arrive in the region.

Contacts with Tehran are running into difficulties. According to the American source, "the Iranians overdid their demands." The details are still unclear.
