CENTCOM urges Israeli military to prepare for possible conflict with Iran

Israeli broadcaster Kan, citing an American source, reported that US Central Command (CENTCOM) has recently informed representatives of the Israeli military in the United States of the need to prepare for the possibility of renewed conflict with Iran. The warning was part of broader security alerts issued to Israel and Gulf states regarding the potential resumption of military operations in the near future.

According to Kan, similar messages were conveyed to Israel through security channels, emphasizing the need to be ready for possible renewed hostilities soon. These warnings contrast with recent statements by US President Donald Trump, who said he saw no need to resume military operations against Iran.

On the military front, Kan reported that the United States continues to move equipment to the Middle East. The broadcaster noted that the aircraft carriers George Washington and George Bush are currently in the region, with a third US carrier expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week.

Meanwhile, Trump asserted that Washington does not need to reach an agreement with Tehran, stating: "We have obtained hundreds of billions of dollars from Iran," and adding: "We control the Strait of Hormuz and do not need to make a deal with them."

The US president also said that American forces have prevented Iran, which he described as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, from acquiring nuclear weapons. He added that it would take Tehran 25 years to recover from the damage caused by war.

On the Iranian side, Tehran maintains that there are currently no direct or indirect negotiations with Washington, or that talks are stalled. Iran insists it will not enter into any negotiations until the United States meets its conditions.
