The United States has called on countries in the Persian Gulf to prepare for an intensive military campaign following developments in the Middle East, according to reporting by Ynet citing the Wall Street Journal. The directive represents a significant escalation in US military posturing in the region and suggests Washington is reinforcing military forces in anticipation of potential Iranian conflict.

Prime Minister Netanyahu stated regarding Iran that “it is still not over,” following warnings from Defence Minister Yoav Gallant not to exploit Israeli security for political purposes. The messaging indicates ongoing tensions with Iran remain a critical concern for Israeli leadership despite recent military operations.

US President Donald Trump has characterised the potential conflict with Iran decisively, stating any war “will end when I want it to end” and must conclude with “an absolute and unequivocal declaration that they will never have nuclear weapons.” Trump described Iran as “the number one terror state in the world.” These statements underscore the Trump administration’s hardline position on Iran and suggest preparations for potential military confrontation are accelerating.
