US Central Command recently instructed Israeli military representatives to prepare for the possibility that fighting with Iran could resume soon, according to reports from Israeli media.

Kan News reported Thursday that an American official conveyed the message to IDF personnel in recent days. Similar alerts went out to Gulf Arab states as well.

The warning comes as the United States continues a significant military buildup in the region. This includes roughly 200 aerial refueling aircraft and two aircraft carriers already deployed, with a third carrier expected to arrive next week.

Israel's political situation adds complexity. The country is in a government transition period following elections, with Gadi Eisenkot tasked with forming the next coalition. Despite this, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu retains authority to initiate military action and has continued advocating for strikes against Iran.

President Trump has kept options open regarding further action. In recent remarks, he stated he has not ruled out another attack and would view Iran's regime remaining in power at the end of his term as a defeat.

These developments follow earlier rounds of US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets earlier in the year. Reports indicate Iran has been rebuilding missile defenses and other capabilities during the lull.

CENTCOM has not publicly confirmed the specific alerts, but the reports highlight ongoing tensions and the need for readiness among US allies in the Middle East.
