The US Central Command (CENTCOM) told Al Jazeera that it had not sent any instructions to Israel about the need to prepare for resuming military actions against Iran.

CENTCOM said the reports were “mere speculation,” according to Al Jazeera.

Israel’s state-run TV and radio broadcaster Kan earlier reported, citing a US source, that CENTCOM had instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare for resuming a military campaign against Iran in the near future.
