ISRAEL ORDERS MILITARY TO STEP UP IRAN STRIKE READINESS AS TEHRAN THREATENS WIDER WAR
Israel’s security cabinet has reportedly ordered the military to increase preparations for possible new strikes on Iran as Tehran warns that another attack could trigger retaliation beyond the Middle East. Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei says military bases involved in attacks against Iran could be targeted from West Asia to Europe, while the IRGC has announced that it no longer considers itself bound by its previous 2,000km missile range limit. The military escalation is unfolding alongside continuing diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing another major round of fighting.
