The US records the movement of UAVs and cruise missile installations by Iran as part of possible preparations for strikes on Israel.
Is Iran really preparing to strike Israel?
According to interlocutors of the publication's journalists close to American intelligence, Iran was preparing for the launch of about 100 cruise missiles.
The publication notes that it is currently unclear whether Iran is really preparing to strike Israel, or is demonstratively trying to deter Israel and the United States from possible strikes on its own territory.
According to one of the sources, Iran wants its strike on Israel to be "significant".
At the same time, the journalists of the publication emphasize that Iran seeks to avoid a direct military confrontation with Israel and the USA.
In this case, as indicated, Iran can use controlled militant groups for strikes on the territory of Israel.

The container ship was last spotted yesterday off the coast of Dubai on its way to the Strait of Hormuz.
