Israel has raised its alertness to the possibility of a direct confrontation with Iran.
According to a report this evening (Wednesday) in 'Kan News', President Trump's threat to damage national infrastructure for any Iranian response in the Strait of Hormuz increases the chance of Israeli involvement - and also of firing at Israeli territory.
According to the report, Israel was informed by the United States that it intends to escalate attacks on Iran in the coming days and, for the first time in the current escalation, carry out attacks using heavy bombers.
Meanwhile, in a speech he gave in Georgia this evening, the president addressed the continued escalation in the fighting against Iran. "We are hitting Iran very hard and they want to reach a deal. They are not ready for a deal yet, because every time they make a deal, they want to change it, and everything. They are not ready yet - but they will be ready very soon.".
In Operation "Harry's Roar," the United States used strategic bombers, which took off from Britain to attack Iran. It can be assumed that, following President Trump's statements, one of the main targets is "Machkosh Mountain" - which he promised to "attack soon.".
The security coordination between Washington and Jerusalem is also intended to allow Israel to prepare for the possibility that the Iranians decide to break the mold and launch missiles at Israel, a step that would lead to renewed Israeli attacks on Iran.
The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Air Force, Majid Mousavi, responded to President Trump's threat and threatened back: "If the US attacks power plants and bridges in Iran, Iran will cut off the electricity of the Gulf countries.".
Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi responded: "Our defensive doctrine is clear - an eye for an eye. Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will require a strong and decisive response. Whoever contributes to such aggression, regardless of the type of support, will also be considered a legitimate target.".
Earlier today, the president wrote on Truth Social: "From this point forward, whenever the Islamic Republic of Iran fires on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether with a missile, rocket, drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy a single bridge or power plant, including those located near or within the capital city of Tehran.".
