⚠️ US-IRAN TALKS PROCEED IN OMAN AMID IRAN SHIFT TO OFFENSIVE DOCTRINE, U.S. PREPARES ADDITIONAL CARRIER DEPLOYMENT AND REGIONAL CAMPAIGN, IDF UPDATES YEMEN TARGET BANK AS HOUTHI THREATS RISE

🔸 US-IRAN TALKS AND REGIONAL PRESSURE: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi: "Nuclear talks with the US are scheduled to be held in Muscat on about 10 am Friday. I'm grateful to our Omani brothers for making all necessary arrangements".

The U.S. agreed to hold talks in Oman on Friday following heavy pressure from Arab and Muslim state leaders, after at least nine Middle Eastern countries urged the Trump administration not to cancel the meeting.

An Iranian Member of Parliament appealed to Araqhchi: "Mr. Araghchi, we expect a preemptive attack on the enemy, not negotiations."

An Iranian official told Tasnim News Agency: "The Americans are constantly changing their statements, and the crisis is not about changing the venue of the talks. Diplomacy requires steadfastness of opinion and seriousness, not constant change influenced by Israel's war-mongering tendencies".

The White House told Al Jazeera: "Nothing so far about the negotiations with Iran, and the situation might change by the end of the day".

⚠️ IRAN MILITARY POSTURE AND SIGNALS: Iranian Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi: "We have changed our military doctrine from defense to offense, and we adopt a policy of asymmetric warfare. We are ready for any action by our enemies".

Iranian state television canceled a planned broadcast presenting a new missile complex, citing "security and military considerations".

♟️ US FORCE BUILDUP AND CAMPAIGN PREPARATION: Israel assesses that the United States is seeking to assemble additional forces in the region ahead of a potential strike on Iran.

U.S. officials are working to deploy another aircraft carrier to the area, citing a view that current aircraft levels are insufficient. They assess the buildup is intended for a broader campaign rather than one or two strikes.

NATO Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany has reportedly shifted to 24/7 operations as the operational tempo supporting movements to the Middle East increases.

‼️ HOUTHI THREAT AND ISRAELI PREPARATIONS: Anti-Houthi Yemeni sources provided intelligence to the United States warning that the Houthis are preparing to resume attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea if Washington attacks Iran.

According to the intelligence, the Houthis are relocating missile and drone depots and holding intensive military discussions in preparation for potential strikes on U.S. vessels.

Israel is preparing for a potential renewed attack from Yemen if the United States launches military action against Iran. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held discussions on the Houthi issue and instructed the IDF to update the target bank in Yemen, in coordination with the Intelligence Directorate and the Air Force.

🇮🇱 ISRAELI LEADERSHIP COORDINATION: Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Press Office announced a security cabinet meeting for tomorrow.

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

  The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

⚠️ U.S. FORCES POSITION NAVAL AND AIR POWER WITHIN STRIKE RANGE OF IRAN AS ISRAEL EXTENDS RESERVE CALL-UP AND IRAN CARRIES OUT REPORTED PROTEST EXECUTION

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran. Carrier-based F-35C Lightning II and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft, supported by aerial refueling, are assessed as able to reach deep into Iranian territory, including nuclear and missile-related sites. The carrier is assessed to be operating roughly 600–1,600 miles from Tehran. The broader U.S. naval posture under U.S. Central Command and European Command includes Tomahawk-capable destroyers USS Mitscher, McFaul, Oscar Austin, Roosevelt, Bulkeley, and Paul Ignatius, and submarines USS South Dakota and USS Georgia, with combined Tomahawk capacity estimated at 358 missiles, rising to approximately 454 when including the Abraham Lincoln strike group. The carrier group includes USS Abraham Lincoln with escort destroyers USS Frank E. Petersen, USS...
