As tensions rise over Iran’s nuclear program, the Israeli Air Force conducted drills earlier today simulating missile and rocket attacks on its bases — the same ones targeted in previous Iranian strikes in April and October 2024, according to a Kan news report.
The exercise aims to boost readiness in case US-Iran nuclear talks collapse, Kan says.
Israeli officials were reportedly caught off guard by a New York Times report last week revealing a halted Israeli-American plan to strike Iran, allegedly blocked by US President Donald Trump.
In Jerusalem, the leak is seen as a US pressure tactic to push Tehran toward a nuclear deal.
Following a second round of talks, Oman confirmed that both sides agreed to move forward toward a “fair, lasting, and binding agreement,” ensuring Iran remains free of nuclear weapons while retaining peaceful nuclear energy capabilities.
