In the last 24 hours, nine cargo planes belonging to the U.S. Air Force have delivered a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Nevatim military base in the south of the Palestinian territories, APA reports citing the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN).
It is claimed that the hundreds of special missiles brought to the Nevatim base, used for bunker busting, were sent by the U.S. in preparation for a potential strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in case negotiations between the U.S. and Iran fail.
These missiles are reported to have been sent to Israel from U.S. bases in Europe and the Middle East.
The New York Times (NYT) also reported that the Israeli administration was preparing to strike Iran’s military bases and nuclear facilities in May of this year, but U.S. President Donald Trump initially did not support this option in order to pursue negotiations with Tehran.
