According to Axios, citing both U.S. and Israeli official, the U.S. has asked Israel to receive ‘dozens’ of additional refueling aircraft to Ben Gurion Airport in preparation for a potential significantly expanded strike campaign on Iran. However, as reported before, some Israeli decision-makers have advised against such a move, as the airport has suffered from the congestion added by the 30 some-odd refueling aircraft already at the airport. In addition to this, it is understood that Iran may directly strike Israel, should an expanded campaign utilize even more U.S. resources based in Israel, a move that would almost certainly prompt Israel to retaliate with widespread direct strikes on Iran.
