Israel Prepares for Iranian Response – U.S. Sends Reinforcements:

Israel is on high alert for a possible Iranian response following recent Israeli strikes in Iran. Security assessments indicate a strong likelihood that Tehran will choose to act through its Shiite terror militias in Iraq and Yemen. Israeli security officials, in close cooperation with U.S. intelligence, are closely monitoring developments across the region, particularly the activities of these militias in neighboring countries.

Israel’s defense establishment believes Iran is attempting to create strategic distance from its own territory by leveraging loyal militia forces, an approach seen by Tehran as a way to reduce the risk of a direct Israeli counterstrike within Iran. However, senior Israeli defense sources stress that this approach will not prevent a decisive Israeli response, and that Israel will act with the same resolve as in previous encounters with Iran, regardless of the attack’s origin.

Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered significant reinforcement of American forces in the Middle East, including strategic B-52 bombers, refueling aircraft, and additional warships. Notably, the B-52 bombers are designed for offensive missions, potentially signaling a clear message to Iran about the path ahead
