The U.S. hastily transferred additional reinforcements to the Middle East as Western intelligence reports that a very dangerous - and radically different than April - Iranian attack, which will take place in three stages with the main target being Jerusalem.
For this reason, the US transferred to the Middle East an F-22 Raptor Squadron from Alaska's Elmendorf Air Base and an F/A-18 Squadron from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.
The US is concerned about both the breadth and depth of the Iranian attack and Israel's reaction. They do not rule out a possible Israeli deterrent.
The United States is concerned about possible preventive action by Israel. They even asked Jerusalem for timely notice if the Israelis strike first; Israeli media WallaNews reported.
Defense Minister Gallant told Israeli pilots and Air Force forces to prepare for the unexpected, to be ready for action in a short period of time.
Iran's Air Force issued a new NOTAM today to warn pilots and air authorities of live fire drills in western Iran on August 7 and 8, setting the dangerous zone at an altitude of 12,000 feet.
