BREAKING: The U.S. is now directly posturing for a large-scale attack, with intense Air Force activity across the Middle East and particularly near southern Iran. At least seven U.S. aerial refueling tankers are operating over the Persian Gulf, while an MQ-4C Triton conducted a reconnaissance flight just hours ago. Iranian media is also reporting unidentified fighter jets over Bandar Abbas, though the claim has not been independently verified. The activity comes directly after Iran’s Central Military Command warned it had intelligence indicating possible renewed U.S. strikes and threatened retaliation against American bases and interests across the region. Tankers are surging. Reconnaissance aircraft are active. Unknown jets are reportedly over southern Iran. Tehran is warning of an attack.

BREAKING: The U.S. now appears to be directly positioning itself for another wave of attacks against Iran, flooding Israel with large numbers of C-17 military transport aircraft as Washington moves additional troops and aircraft into the region, according to Israeli security sources cited by Walla. Around 3,000 U.S. troops are already stationed across Israel, while Israeli and U.S. forces are coordinating over a possible renewed confrontation with Iran, including potential Iranian surprise missile attacks on Israel and Jordan. More U.S. aircraft and personnel are expected to arrive in Israel in the coming weeks. The buildup comes alongside roughly 9,000 to 10,000 additional U.S. troops moving toward the Middle East aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, with three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups potentially positioning near Iran.

BREAKING: The U.S. appears to be building up for another possible wave of attacks against Iran, with a surge in C-17 military transports, aerial refueling tankers and other support aircraft reportedly moving toward Israel. The movements come amid reports that CENTCOM has briefed Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir on preparations for a possible return to large-scale strikes against Iran, as the Pentagon orders plans for renewed major combat operations to be completed. The aircraft buildup signals heightened readiness, though it does not confirm that a strike has been approved. Iran also says it’s military is in highest state of alert and ready to do preemptive strikes if necessary.

BREAKING: The US is again moving large numbers of strategic tankers and C-17 military transport aircraft toward the Middle East, with multiple aircraft tracked landing in Israel as a new US air bridge takes shape ahead of a potential large-scale attack on Iran, per Flightradar. The buildup comes alongside increased military flight activity around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran , including KC-135 Stratotankers, KC-46 Pegasus tankers and MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones, as the US continues positioning forces and equipment in the region. The activity echoes patterns seen before previous strikes. It comes days after Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran at the UN, adding to growing indications of preparations for a possible major US operation against Tehran. Iran has also kept its military at its highest alert level since shortly after Trump cut short his Camp David trip.

BREAKING: For the second straight day, large numbers of U.S. C-130H military transport aircraft are reportedly heading toward the Middle East, following yesterday’s major movement of American military aircraft toward the region. The C 130H is a tactical transport aircraft used to move troops, ammunition, weapons, vehicles, equipment and other supplies directly into operational areas. It can carry up to 42,000 pounds of cargo or as many as 90 combat troops and operate from short, rough airstrips, making it a key US battlefield transport aircraft. The renewed movement comes as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain extremely high, with Iran maintaining its military on high alert and the US continuing to increase its military presence across the region. Something is definitely coming.

BREAKING: The U.S. is preparing for a significantly expanded military campaign against Iran — flooding Israel with dozens of additional refueling tankers, turning Ben Gurion Airport into a forward base for expanded attacks on Iran, a move Tehran has warned will make Israel a direct target. Axios reports Washington has asked Israel to accept dozens more refueling aircraft, adding to the 30 already stationed there. Israeli officials are reportedly concerned — not just about congestion, but about the strategic risk: a larger U.S. military footprint makes Israel a direct target. Flightradar24 data also shows a significant movement of U.S. aerial refueling tankers toward the Middle East, while outbound military flights appear to be C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft, indicating a continued buildup.

Iran's IRGC announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that no vessel will be allowed to transit until the United States ends its military interference in the region. The IRGC also claimed Iranian forces struck two vessels that ignored warnings and switched off their radio communications. Almost immediately afterward, fresh strikes were reported across southern and southwestern Iran, with reports alleging U.S. HIMARS launches from Bahrain and Kuwait. Explosions have been reported in Bandar Abbas, Asaluyeh, Bushehr, Sirik, Minab, and Ahvaz. So far, only an explosion in Bushehr has been visually confirmed. Footage 1: Reported HIMARS launches toward Iran. Image 2: Reported explosion at Dayyer Port, Bushehr.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers and with heavy air cover, the United States could not keep the Gulf’s biggest oil bypass open. Fujairah Port has effectively ceased operations, removing roughly 6 million barrels per day from the market, according to HFI Research . HFI says the hub is now “all but dead” after the IRGC targeted two VLCCs. MarineTraffic data shows fewer than a dozen visible vessels crossed Hormuz in the past 24 hours, versus the normal 130+ daily transits. All used Iran’s traffic scheme; none used the U.S.-backed southern route through Omani waters. Some ships may be moving with AIS disabled, but visible traffic remains severely disrupted.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers, AWACS, fighter jets, and drones overhead, the Strait of Hormuz recorded just eight crossings on July 16 — the lowest in three weeks. The U.S.-backed Omani corridor? Zero. For the second day straight, per MarineTraffic. All seven ships used Iran's northern route. One went dark. The U.S. "security umbrella" isn't moving a single barrel—and Brent crude has climbed above $88 a barrel. Additionally, today, two oil tankers exploded after striking naval mines in the Strait. Iran's IRGC accused the U.S. of deceiving the vessels and directing them into the mined area, saying naval forces confronted four U.S.-backed vessels that ignored Iranian navigation instructions.

BREAKING: Despite extensive U.S. air cover — Iran's IRGC struck two commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, firing at least two missiles at vessels using the U.S.-backed southern Omani corridor, per UKMTO. The attack came just one day after satellite imagery showed 40 to 45 IRGC speedboats patrolling the strait. One vessel — believed to be the Qatari LNG carrier Al Rekayyat — was struck 8 nautical miles east of Limah, Oman, sparking a fire on its port side, according UKMTO warning 080-26. Now vessels are again changing course. Ships that were using the U.S.-backed corridor are diverting to Iran's approved northern route following the attack.

BREAKING: Iran has reportedly struck the BAPCO oil refinery in Bahrain while launching missile and drone attacks against U.S. military assets in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. Iranian drones also reportedly destroyed a $5 million U.S. HIMARS launcher in Kuwait, marking Tehran's largest coordinated assault since the collapse of the MoU. The offensive follows heavy U.S. strikes across southern Iran, where Iranian state media says American forces targeted six civilian bridges, a major railway station, a telecommunications tower, and a civilian airport in Hormozgan Province and Chabahar. The strikes reportedly killed and injured civilians and severed key transport links around Bandar Abbas. The attacks came just hours after the IRGC warned that any U.S. strike on Iranian infrastructure would be met with the destruction of "every last piece of infrastructure" across the region, while the Houthis reiterated threats to shut the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Reports indicate the U.S. military base in Kuwait is on fire following the strikes. In Qatar, reports claim Iranian missiles struck Al Duhail Camp on the outskirts of Doha, with loud explosions reported across the capital. In Bahrain, reports also claim missiles hit Hamala Camp, which houses U.S. forces, as well as another U.S. military installation. Two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters were seen operating over Bahrain during the latest drone attacks. Arabic media further reports an Iranian missile struck the King Fahd Causeway linking Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with ambulances and emergency crews dispatched to the scene. 1.
