According to The New York Times, Iran has put its missile systems and other military assets on alert in preparation for potential strikes targeting American military positions across the Middle East.

In a Hebrew-language interview broadcast tonight on israel’s Channel 14, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu reiterated recent remarks supporting the idea of toppling Iran’s ruling regime and indicated that the current military conflict could help advance normalization with Arab countries under the Abraham Accords framework.
Responding to a question about whether regime change in Iran was a specific aim of the war, Netanyahu explained his perspective in historical terms. “Cyrus freed the Jews, and today the Jewish state might free the Persians. Not in the sense that we’re doing it for them…In the end, they have to rise up themselves, but we are creating the conditions. And that’s why it could be consequential.”

President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing the possibility of coordinating with Israel on military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including the highly secure facility located in Fordow.
