The US military is preparing for the possibility that President Donald Trump will order direct air support for Israeli strikes on Iran - by refueling Israeli fighter jets in mid-air. This was reported by CNN. To this end, it was noted that more than 30 American refueling aircraft have been deployed to the region in recent days. According to sources familiar with the details, this represents a "lower-level" military involvement option for the US, but one that also leaves Trump and the US Central Command (CENTCOM) with a variety of options to deepen involvement if decided later. The report also stated that one of the options already presented to President Trump involves joint US-Israeli strikes against nuclear sites.
