The US is deploying additional aerial refueling aircraft to Israel amid preparations for a possible war with Iran. The IDF is considering three scenarios: a large-scale response to an Iranian missile strike, a joint US-Israel operation "Roar of the Lion 2.0", and an independent campaign modeled on operation "The People as a Lion". A senior officer emphasized that only options are being considered, and no decision on launching the operation has been made. Simultaneously, diplomatic efforts have intensified: several Arab states are seeking to organize negotiations between the US and Iran in New York. Earlier, US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly suggested the possibility of eliminating the Islamic Republic through a military operation. Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters claimed to have received data on US preparations for a large-scale attack, without disclosing its sources.
