JERUSALEM, Israel – War is escalating again in the Middle East, just three weeks after a ceasefire was supposed to silence the guns. Iranian forces have now launched attacks on U.S. military targets throughout the Persian Gulf, retaliating for recent American airstrikes inside Iran.
The military action raises concerns that the conflict is entering a dangerous new phase, with regional allies now preparing for what may come next.
Israel is bracing for the possibility that Iran could target Israeli air bases used by U.S. aircraft, including refueling tankers at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport.
