US sending dozens of refueling planes to Israel as Iran escalation looms

The Trump administration plans to send more refueling planes to Israel amid potential military escalations against Iran. President Trump is considering extensive military options, including bombing Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities.

The U.S. military has been conducting strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz for five consecutive days, targeting significant locations such as Bandar Abbas, a key logistics hub for Iran's military.

Israeli officials indicate the U.S. aims to boost the number of refueling planes to around 60, which raises concerns about disruptions at Ben Gurion Airport, particularly with an upcoming election.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran, saying, "Do not count on it being quiet if you attack us." The Trump administration seeks Israeli cooperation for the additional planes, with Netanyahu to make the final decision.
