Simulation of strike on Iranian territory also sends message to America’s regional partners, analysts say
The United States’ participation in an upcoming Israeli drill simulating a strike on Iran is intended to signal that a military option is on the table if the Islamic Republic does not return to diplomatic talks, analysts believe.
The US Air Force is set to conduct air-to-air refueling of Israeli fighter jets as they simulate a strike on Iranian territory, Israel’s Channel 13 reported on Tuesday evening. According to the report, the exercise will take place in two weeks as part of the IDF’s ongoing major “Chariots of Fire” exercise.
Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) Michael Kurilla landed in Israel on Wednesday to observe the IDF military drills.
