🛡️ ISRAEL RAISES MILITARY ALERT: The Israeli Air Force has raised its alert level and is mobilizing air defense systems, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. The IDF is on high alert ahead of the possibility of a significant American strike on Iran.
Israel conducted emergency simulation drills in recent hours involving units from the IDF Intelligence Directorate and the Israeli Air Force, according to Walla.
Israel is awaiting President Trump’s decision. The assessment is that if Washington attacks Iran, Israel will come under Iranian attack and will respond, according to Israeli Channel 15.
An Israeli official told Channel 12: “The US is closer than ever to renewing the war on Iran”.
Separately, an Israeli military official reported that Israel had been informed by the United States that Washington would resume military operations against Iran, adding that “the region is on the brink of a major escalation”.
📍 IRAN MOVES FORCES AS INTERNAL PRESSURE GROWS: Iran is reportedly evacuating bases in several areas of the country, including locations in southern and central Iran. Movements of launchers and tanks have been observed in Bandar Abbas, while unusual activity has been reported among Iranian army units in Tehran.
Iranian opposition figures claim that the Revolutionary Guards have deployed visible missile launchers in Khalkhal, northwestern Iran. Opposition sources also reported the evacuation of police stations in Tehran.
Extremely long lines have been reported at gas stations in the capital, with fuel shortages at some locations and a surge of Iranian citizens attempting to refuel amid fears that further escalation may be imminent.
❗️ IRAN THREATENS AN IMMEDIATE REGIONAL RESPONSE: Mohammad Marandi, a senior Iranian official and adviser to Iran’s negotiating delegation, said: “If Trump launches an attack tonight, the overwhelming Iranian response will begin immediately, and all people should prepare to immediately leave the countries of the criminal, family-run dictatorships in the Persian Gulf.”
Marandi also stated: “Based on statements from the Trump regime, it seems quite possible that after months of barbaric threats, tonight will be the last night of normality in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and possibly Oman. If strikes are carried out against Iran's civilian infrastructure, the critical infrastructure of these complicit regimes — along with that of the Zionist regime and perhaps Jordan — will be demolished. People in these regimes should immediately prepare for evacuation”.
