Axios: US Expands Military Support to Israel Amid Potential Wider Conflict with Iran

The Trump administration is reportedly expanding military support to Israel by deploying dozens of additional refueling aircraft, as President Trump considers broadening US military operations against Iran. This decision follows a Situation Room meeting where options for a wider military campaign were reviewed, potentially including strikes on Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities. US forces have already conducted five consecutive days of attacks on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran has intensified attacks on US bases in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran, stating, "Do not count on it being quiet if you attack us." The increased US military presence in Israel has also created domestic political issues, with concerns raised about airport capacity at Ben Gurion International Airport.
