US to Deploy More Refueling Jets to Israel as Trump Weighs Iran Offensive

The United States is preparing to deploy additional aerial refueling aircraft to Israel as President Donald Trump weighs a significant expansion of military operations against Iran. The move comes amid deliberations over a range of potential actions, according to reports citing U.S. and Israeli officials.

During a White House meeting, Trump reportedly reviewed several military options that go beyond the current U.S. strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. These options allegedly include strikes targeting Iranian power plants, strategic infrastructure, and nuclear facilities. There is also consideration of an attack on the underground Pickaxe Mountain site, suspected of being involved in nuclear-related activities.

While Trump has not yet made a final decision, U.S. and Israeli officials suggest an escalation could occur within days. The objective of any expanded campaign would be to pressure Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz and complying with the Trump administration's demands regarding its nuclear program. The White House has not officially commented on these reported plans.
