The U.S. and Israel appear to be preparing for a second round of war with Iran going by intense replenishment activity both in Israel and U.S. bases around the Gulf.
Fox new reported Friday that the "US Central Command just informed Trump of its readiness for a final strike against Iran. The ‘Dark Eagle’ hypersonic missile is ready for its first combat. The assessed targets include "remaining Iranian military assets, leadership, and infrastructure."
US Department of Defense sent two cargo ships to Israel which docked at the Ashdod and Haifa ports, carrying thousands of air and ground weapons, military trucks, JLTV combat mobility vehicles, besides additional equipment totaling 6500 tons.
The equipment was simultaneously loaded onto hundreds of trucks and transported to IDF bases across the country, the Israeli MoD said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned: "Israel is prepared at any moment to act against its enemies - in any arena and wherever necessary. We will continue to strengthen capabilities and ensure that Israel has all the tools to protect its citizens and defeat its enemies."
Defense Ministry Director General, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram: " At any given moment, cargo planes and ships are making their way to Israel with thousands of tons of ammunition and weapons.”
Reports said that the US has deployed a MC-130J Commando II and two HC-130J Combat King II search-and-rescue aircraft to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
