AXIOS, citing sources, reports Israel's new Mossad chief met in Washington with the CIA director two weeks ago to discuss Iran.

Israeli broadcaster citing sources says Washington has notified Israel it plans to escalate military strikes on Iran by deploying heavy strategic bombers for air raids in the coming days, marking the first use of such aircraft in this round of escalation. The report says US bombers previously flew from the UK to strike Iran in Operation Rising Lion. It cites a prior Trump comment that a location called Gaoshan may be among primary targets. US-Israel security coordination is being stepped up to prepare Israel for possible Iranian retaliation; Israel expects to resume strikes on Iran if Iran fires missiles at Israel.
