- HormuzReportBREAKING: Israel has raised its military alert to the highest level across all fronts and is preparing for a possible targeted strike against Iran after Tehran reportedly launched 30 ballistic missiles during a large-scale IRGC exercise, with Israeli assessments pointing to potential U.S. strikes against Iranian radars and missile launch platforms near the Strait of Hormuz, per Israel Hayom and Al Hadath. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned that “the potential for escalation has increased,” confirming troop reinforcements across all sectors and heightened readiness for large-scale offensive operations. Israeli assessments reportedly suggest that U.S. strikes near Hormuz would not immediately trigger Iranian attacks on Israel unless the conflict escalates further. One concern is that Tehran could use its recovering ballistic missile arsenal to retaliate against Gulf states if the situation deteriorates further. Meanwhile, Iran warns that any attack on its territory will trigger immediate retaliation across all fronts in the region and be treated as an all-out war.
