American media sources reported that the United States is making major military moves to develop its air defense system in the Middle East. The sources confirmed that the idea of carrying out military attacks on Iran is not currently imminent, until the deployment of the necessary defense reinforcements is completed.
The Wall Street Journal published statements by American officials, in which they explained that the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) is currently working on distributing advanced air defense systems such as “THAAD” and “Patriot” in military bases that include American forces in a number of countries in the region.
The purpose of this step is to provide comprehensive protection to Israel and allied Arab countries in anticipation of any expected retaliatory reactions, especially as tensions increase in the region.
Reports showed that these defensive systems have great strategic value, due to their role in stopping major missile and drone attacks carried out by Tehran in 2024, all the way to… The 12-day military standoff in 2025.
In the context of political affairs, the New York Times reported details of a phone call that took place last month between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, in which Netanyahu asked Washington to be careful in implementing any plans for direct military operations against Iranian targets.
Although the White House confirmed that this contact had taken place, it did not reveal its details, and merely indicated the continuation of close cooperation between the two parties in light of the current conditions.
