Currently, about 30 US refueling aircraft are deployed at Israel’s Ben Gurion and Ramon airports. According to Israeli officials, the US plans to send several dozen more such aircraft to Israel in the coming days, increasing their number to the level it was at the beginning of the war.
Analysts surveyed by “Axios” believe that the demonstrative strengthening of military capabilities is intended to increase pressure on Tehran, aiming to force it to open the Strait of Hormuz and agree to US demands regarding the nuclear program.
The publication recalled that US military forces have been conducting strikes against Iranian targets for almost a week in a row.
According to one US official, at least seven bridges were destroyed in these attacks in the vicinity of Bandar Abbas city – the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operations center in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the news portal “Axios,” the US is considering moving to a larger-scale operation that could include strikes against critical Iranian infrastructure and its nuclear facilities.
Although an initial ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran was announced on June 17, the situation is escalating daily. Last night, US forces launched another powerful series of strikes on Iranian territory, destroying dozens of military targets, including coastal observation posts, air defense systems, and naval military facilities.
In response, the IRGC announced attacks on US facilities in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. At the same time, the US imposed a blockade on Iranian shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, detaining and inspecting ships, and opening fire in case of non-compliance.
Meanwhile, after consultations with advisors, D. Trump seems increasingly inclined to expand the military operation. Among the options under consideration are intensifying air strikes and deploying US military forces on islands near the Strait of Hormuz.
