Channel 13: Amid U.S. efforts to restart diplomacy with Iran, Netanyahu has held closed-door meetings regarding Iran with top defense officials. A senior Israeli source says: "There will be no choice but a military confrontation with Iran." — No comment from PM's office.

After being ordered to the U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) Area-of-Responsibility earlier this week by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) departed today from Guam heading towards the Middle East, expected to arrive in the region sometime in mid to late April.

Telegraph: Iran has issued a warning: if Donald Trump orders an attack on Iran, Tehran will retaliate by striking the U.S.-U.K. naval base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.

This base is currently hosting multiple B-2 bombers.

According to @N12News, The IDF has been instructed to finalize all preparations for a strike on Iran by mid-2025.

It can now be revealed that he was an Israeli asset, providing intelligence that led to elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah leaders Nasrallah and Safieddine.

A senior Iranian official told The Telegraph that top military commanders are being urged to launch a preemptive strike on Diego Garcia if Trump’s threats become more serious. "Discussions about the island have intensified since the Americans deployed bombers there," the official said.

NBC News is reporting that the Pentagon has ordered the relocation of at least 2 U.S. Army MIM-104 “Patriot” surface-to-air missile batteries and a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile defense system from Asia to the Middle East in the past few days, as tensions between Iran and the United States continue to grow and future military action against Iran seems more and more likely.

Reports of these relocations appear in line with a massive number of tracked military cargo flights to the Middle East over the last week by the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command (AMC), with dozens of C-17s and several C-5s arriving at Isa Air Base in Bahrain as well as other bases near the Persian Gulf, almost all of which originated from Osan Air Base in South Korea; with planes continuing to arrive today at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and Djibouti International Airport near Yemen.

The relocation of critical air-defenses such as THAAD and the repositioning of the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) and her Carrier Strike Group to the Middle East, as well as the deployment of at least 6 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers recently to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, suggest that the United States may be preparing for a major conflict soon with Iran.

Iran closes airspace in preparation for war against the US, — Mehr, citing the country's government

All flying side by side in Iniochos Warrior air force drills in Greece.
Not in the Middle East.
Not under NATO command.
But in neutral airspace — far from the media spotlight.
What does this mean?

Regional rivals don’t just “train” together without a reason.
This is about preparation — not practice.
A shadow coalition is forming — quietly, and fast.

But hope never dies

According to Yonhap News, South Korea and the United States have agreed on a plan to temporarily relocate several MIM-104F “Patriot” PAC-3 Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries from U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) to the Middle East, as tensions continue to grow with Iran. The agreement comes following reports last week from NBC News that U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had authorized at least two “Patriot” Missile Batteries as well as a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Anti-Ballistic Missile Battery be moved from Asia to the Middle East; while flight trackers observed dozens of military cargo flights from Osan Air Base in South Korea to Isa Air Base in Bahrain.
