Israeli officials have raised alarms to the United States about recent missile exercises by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, warning they could be a cover for a potential attack on Israel. While intelligence so far only shows force movements within Iran, Israeli authorities remain cautious, citing increased risk sensitivity since the Hamas invasion in October 2023. American officials currently see no signs of an imminent Iranian strike, but both countries are closely coordinating defensive measures, with senior military leaders meeting over the weekend to discuss the situation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Donald Trump in Miami later this month, with Iran's missile buildup and future Israeli responses expected to be key topics. Israeli intelligence reports indicate Iran is rebuilding its missile forces more aggressively following losses in the June war, and Western sources have observed unusual aerial activity by Iranian forces. The scope and coordination of these maneuvers have prompted heightened monitoring and concern among Israeli and US officials.
