According to a report published Thursday evening by Kan News, US Central Command (CENTCOM) recently instructed IDF representatives stationed in the United States to prepare for the possibility of renewed hostilities with Tehran.
A US official said that, as part of ongoing security coordination between Washington and Jerusalem, American military officials have warned that another round of fighting with Iran could begin in the near future. Similar messages have reportedly been conveyed to Gulf states as US forces continue strengthening their military presence across the region.
The warnings contrast with Trump's recent statements that he currently sees no reason to restart military operations against Iran. Nevertheless, American defense officials are reportedly maintaining preparations for a potential escalation, alongside the continued deployment of additional military assets to the Middle East.
US Expands Military Presence Across the Middle East
According to the report, the United States currently has approximately 200 aerial refueling aircraft stationed at military bases throughout the Middle East and Europe. The region is also witnessing a significant American aircraft carrier presence for the first time since June.
Two US aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and USS George H.W. Bush, are reportedly operating in the region. A third carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, is expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week, further strengthening American naval capabilities.
In addition to its naval and air forces, the United States maintains thousands of troops at military bases across the Middle East. These personnel operate a range of military systems, including air defense platforms, as Washington continues preparing for the possibility of renewed conflict with Iran.
