After a full week of massive US attacks on Iran: In Israel, it is estimated tonight (Saturday night) that US President Donald Trump is looking to expand the campaign - and senior officials confirm that this is a "fatal week.".
Meanwhile, the Iranians are returning fire at American bases in the Gulf and the Middle East - and threatening a "firm response" to anyone who helps the US. So far, Iran has attacked targets in Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
In addition to launching missiles at American bases, Iran today attacked a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait, as well as a facility of the country's oil corporation.
At the same time, the US Embassy in Israel issued a warning and asked its citizens to consider traveling to the Middle East and Israel in particular, due to "the potential for unexpected escalation.".
Security sources told Channel 13 that at the moment there is no warning of firing at Israel, but the assessment is that the situation is explosive and could change at any moment if Iran feels "at a loss.".
The US Army Central Command announced this evening that two soldiers were killed in an Iranian attack on Jordan yesterday. Another soldier is listed as missing.
The American statement released this evening also stated that four additional soldiers were injured, evacuated to a hospital - and released.
Earlier this evening, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei accused the US of violating the agreement.
In a written message, he said that "the violation of the memorandum of understanding has once again proven the worthlessness of the US president's signature." He called the US "the Great Satan" - and added: "Now, when the American enemy seeks to incite war, let him know that the Iranian nation and the resistance front have unforgettable lessons for him.".
According to a report this evening on 'Kan News', in light of the growing tensions, the US has begun sending dozens of additional fighter jets to the Middle East. A squadron of F-16 fighter jets landed in Jordan in the past 24 hours, and additional fighter jets are expected to arrive in the coming days at additional bases in the Middle East.
An American source told Kan News that this is a reinforcement of F-35 and F-16 squadrons, whose deployment is expected to be completed in the coming days, after the logistical preparations are completed.
At the same time, the US administration informed Israel of its intention to change the "regional deployment" and send about 100 refueling planes. This follows a report last night about President Donald Trump's intention to send more refueling planes.
These are dozens of aircraft, which are supposed to support strikes in Iran, with some arriving at the Uvda base in the south in the past 24 hours from Qatar, and others are expected to arrive at Air Force bases in the south.
As part of the security coordination between Israel and the United States, and following pressure from Transportation Minister Miri Regev, attempts will be made to reduce the arrival of refueling planes at Ben Gurion Airport, for fear of flight cancellations. Despite this, Israeli security officials make it clear that in the event of an escalation with Iran: "Security needs will prevail over other considerations.".
