Israel warned US President Donald Trump that recent
missile exercises by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) could
escalate tensions and signal a potential attack, US media reported on Monday.
According to CNN, General Eyal Zamir, the Israeli
army chief of staff, spoke with US Central Command chief Brad Cooper,
cautioning that the drills Iran launched several days ago might serve as cover
for a surprise strike.
In addition, he urged closer coordination between
US and Israeli forces to strengthen defensive measures.
Meanwhile, the report comes amid indications that
Israel is preparing to present Trump with potential options for a new strike
against Iran, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.
On June 13, Israel carried out the “Rising Lion”
operation targeting key Iranian military and nuclear sites, resulting in the
deaths of senior Iranian commanders and scientists. Iran responded with a
sustained ballistic missile strike on Israeli military bases in an operation
named “True Promise 3,” hitting dozens of sites.
The United States entered the conflict on June 22,
conducting airstrikes mainly against Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. Following
this, Iran targeted the US Al Udeid base in Qatar. US President Donald Trump
declared a ceasefire on June 24, ending 12 days of escalation.
