American refuelling aircraft in Israel
A significant concentration of US refuelling aircraft was observed at Ben Gurion Airport. Similar activity was observed on the eve of the war between Israel and Iran.
There have been no official statements from the Israeli or American sides on the reasons for the accumulation of aircraft. The presence of refuellers may indicate preparations for large-scale operations in the region.
China urges citizens to leave Iran
The Chinese Embassy in Tehran has issued an appeal to its citizens to leave Iran as soon as possible. The reasons for this step are not specified.
The announcement comes amid a rise in tensions in the region and military aircraft activity in Israel. Such appeals indicate a possible escalation of the situation.
International response and security
The increase in the number of military aircraft in the region has attracted the attention of the international community. Countries are considering options for evacuating their citizens from Iran.
