The U.S. is shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel from Iranian attacks as President Donald Trump warns Tehran to step back from the conflict. Trump’s social media posts saying his patience with Iran was “wearing thin” have raised the possibility of deepening U.S. involvement, perhaps by using its bunker-busting bomb to strike a key Iranian nuclear site built deep underground in the mountains. Israel doesn’t have the massive munition it would take to destroy the Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant, or the aircraft needed to deliver it. Only the U.S. does. As America’s national security leaders discuss the next steps, the Pentagon has moved to ensure that its troops and bases in the region are protected. Here’s a look at the U.S.

A missile launched by Iran almost destroyed a parked car in a Chareidi neighborhood in Haifa but the tefillin inside it were unharmed. B’Chasdei Hashem, no one was injured in the incident. Deputy Transportation Minister Uri Maklev traveled on Tuesday to the impact site and spoke with the residents of the neighborhood, who have been under continuous threat. Iran has been targeting Haifa in their barrages, as there are many strategic assets in the city: the Haifa Port, the city’s industrial zone and oil refineries (the largest of which was hit and is currently closed down), and a naval base. The owner of the car told Maklev that part of the neis was that the missile first hit the nearby water pipe, which quelled the fire before it hit the car.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has released footage of what they claim are Emad ballistic missiles being launched earlier tonight toward Israel.

A dramatic scene unfolded directly in front of the Beth Rivka girls school in Montreal this afternoon – just as girls were leaving and beginning to walk home. There was no indication that the incident was security related.

The IRGC claims a recent missile barrage involved Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles, calling it “the beginning of the end” for Israel’s air defenses. According to the IRGC, the missiles penetrated Israeli systems, struck their targets, and demonstrated Iran’s control over the skies of the “occupied territories.”

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.
U.S. officials cited in the report say Tehran is preparing these moves as a contingency plan in case American troops become involved in Israeli military operations against Iran.
The officials note that any U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordo nuclear site could prompt the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen to launch attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, a tactic they have previously used.

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.”

Iran has released a new AI-generated video implicitly threatening a nuclear attack on Israel. There is no evidence to suggest the genocidal regime has any such capabilities.

The White House has called a full lid for the evening, meaning President Donald Trump is not expected to make any public appearances, issue statements, or be seen on camera for the remainder of the day.

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. The information was reported by CBS News, which cited five individuals with knowledge of the matter.
The report indicates that among Trump’s top advisors, there is no unanimous stance on whether the United States should actively join the Israeli military campaign.
This issue was expected to be addressed during a high-level discussion convened by Trump in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday afternoon, where his national security team gathered to evaluate the growing conflict between Israel and Iran.

The IDF has issued an urgent evacuation warning for District 18 in Tehran, ahead of an expected strike on Iranian military infrastructure. Civilians are urged to leave immediately for their safety.
