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.
