- 'Israel' prepares F‑35 fleet for potential strikes on Iran.
- Military and diplomatic pressure on Washington intensifies amid nuclear negotiations.
Senior occupation officials have signaled that their air force is prepared to carry out rapid strikes on sensitive Iranian nuclear sites in the “very near” future.
The warnings reflect a growing emphasis on military escalation by occupation leadership, even as diplomatic channels remain open through US-mediated talks with Tehran via Oman.
Air Superiority and Stealth Jets
Defense Minister Israel Katz highlighted that the F‑35 fighter jets provided the air superiority that enabled the June 2025 attack on Iran’s nuclear program, noting that the same scenario could be repeated at any time in coordination with Washington.
The announcement coincided with a ceremony marking the delivery of the 350th wing to Lockheed Martin, part of the joint F‑35 production program. These advanced wings demonstrate the deep industrial and military collaboration between Tel Aviv and Washington.
Expanding the “Adir” Fleet
Earlier in January, the occupation army received three additional F‑35I “Adir” jets at Nevatim Air Base, raising the operational fleet to 48 aircraft ready for long-range missions. The expansion plan aims to increase the total number to fifty by the end of 2026.

Political Pressure on Washington
'Israeli' leaders are pushing the US to abandon purely diplomatic negotiations and adopt military measures to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Concerns persist that a “partial deal” focusing solely on uranium enrichment could overlook threats from Iran’s ballistic missiles and drones, which continue to alarm Tel Aviv.
