The Trump administration notified Israel it is sending dozens more refueling planes to the country ahead of a potential expansion of military operations against Iran, according to Axios.

The report says Trump is considering a massive offensive in Iran. It says that among the options being considered are bombing Iranian infrastructure facilities like power plants, conducting more attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

It says Trump hasn’t made a decision yet but it could come in the “coming days”.

Oil is higher as this circulates but I have to wonder why this was leaked deliberately. Perhaps it’s to put pressure on Iran to go back to the negotiating table.

The report says that the US wants to bring the number of refuelling planes to the same level it had at the beginning of the war.
