US deploys 10 military cargo planes to Israel amid preparations for possible strike on Iran: Report
- On Thursday, the United States sent 10 transport aircraft to Israeli Air Force bases in southern Israel, landing at Ovda and Nevatim. The planes, likely C-5M Super Galaxys or C-17 Globemaster IIIs, possibly carried Patriot air defense batteries as part of a broader Middle East airlift.
- Washington and Jerusalem are preparing for a possible renewed campaign against Iran following reports earlier this week that the United States warned Gulf states of a "short and focused war." US forces across the Middle East are replenishing weapons stockpiles amid the preparations.
- Admiral Brad Cooper, the senior U.S. commander in the Middle East, briefed President Trump on military options regarding Iran on Thursday, alongside the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The military transferred a Patriot missile system from Texas to the Gulf.
- Although no decision on further action against Iran has been made, an Israeli official confirmed the United States and Israel are in close coordination, preparing to respond to any course President Trump chooses. American soldiers were ordered to leave some bases amid escalation concerns.
- Next month, an aircraft carrier and an additional Marine unit are expected to join approximately 20 warships already operating in the Middle East. These deployments leave U.S. and Israeli forces positioned to respond to whatever course President Trump chooses to pursue.
