Axios reports that U.S. President Donald Trump is considering launching broader attacks on Iran. Potential targets include Iranian infrastructure, such as power plants and nuclear facilities.

Meanwhile, refueling aircraft have been deployed in Israel. Currently, about 30 such planes are stationed at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, and roughly the same number at Ramon Airport in the south of the country. Israeli officials have stated that the U.S. plans to increase the number of refueling aircraft to levels seen at the start of the Iran war.

According to Axios sources, Trump has not yet made a final decision on escalating hostilities, but an order could come in the coming days.
