The U.S. may be preparing the Iranian island of Abu Musa for use by the Pentagon
The Iranian island of Abu Musa, which has been the target of targeted strikes by U.S. Central Command, could become the focus of a potential military operation.
This is reported in analytical assessments by the Israeli Alma Center.
It is noted that not all military facilities were hit during the strikes, and the runway remained intact. This may indicate possible preparations for the future use of the island’s infrastructure.
Analysts believe that in the event of an attempted takeover, the island would be difficult to defend due to its distance from mainland Iran—over 70 km.
At the same time, it is predicted that Iran would respond in such a case with missile strikes and drone attacks, posing significant risks to any operation.
Possible scenarios include both a temporary raid operation—with a landing and withdrawal—and a longer-term occupation of the island as a staging ground.
The island is located near the UAE and has infrastructure that makes it potentially important for further military operations in the region.
The U.S. and Iran have yet to reach an agreement, even after a new round of negotiations.
The Pentagon stated that the video posted by Donald Trump shows strikes by American bombers on an ammunition depot in Iran. The facility in question is located in the city of Isfahan.
Gas prices in Israel will skyrocket amid the war with Iran. Starting at midnight, fuel prices will exceed a level not seen in nearly four years.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hagset visited American troops in the Middle East. According to him, the soldiers asked for neither better conditions nor a return home.
