High-Level Military Coordination: The arrival of General Michael Kurilla, the Commander of U.S. Central Command, in #Israel🇮🇱underscores the seriousness of the situation and the high-level coordination between the U.S. and Israel in defense matters. This visit is not merely symbolic but reflects a tangible effort to strategize and prepare for potential threats. Preparation for Multiple Threats: The mention of a possible "Unprecedented Direct Attack" from Iranian territory using ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles highlights the complexity of the security landscape facing Israel. The involvement of various military and defense officials suggests that the threat assessment encompasses a range of potential scenarios, requiring a multifaceted defense strategy. Immediate Response Strategy: Israeli officials have made it clear that in the event of such an attack, they will respond directly against Iran. This indicates a readiness to swiftly retaliate in the face of aggression. The coordination with General Kurilla suggests that any Israeli response would likely involve collaboration with the U.S., potentially indicating a broader international dimension to the conflict. Significance of International Alliances: The need for coordination between Israeli and American military leaders highlights the strategic importance of the #US.-#Israel alliance in the face of regional threats. It underscores the shared interests and mutual defense commitments between the two countries, with the U.S. offering support and expertise to bolster Israel's defenses in the event of an attack.

✈️ U.S. to Deploy More Combat Aircraft to the Middle East Amid Escalating Tensions ✈️ The United States is preparing to send additional combat aircraft to the Middle East in response to threats from Iran and its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. These groups have vowed to attack Israel in the coming days to avenge the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh this week, according to American officials. A U.S. military official, speaking anonymously (stated in NYTimes), stated that American forces in the Middle East are taking "necessary measures" to increase combat readiness and protect U.S. troops and allies against any threats from Iran or Iran-backed militia groups. The number of aircraft to be deployed is still under consideration, pending final approvals from senior officials, including Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III. Officials emphasized the importance of calibrating the American response to send the right types of aircraft quickly, to support Israel without escalating the conflict further. Additional air power could prove crucial. In April, Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles against Israel. U.S. Air Force jets based in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, along with French, Jordanian, and British fighters, coordinated efforts to intercept more than 80 drones. In that instance, Iran's actions were telegraphed in advance, allowing the Pentagon time to reposition combat aircraft and Navy ships, while U.S. commanders negotiated access to airspace and coordinated ground-based air defense systems to help defend Israel. However, officials note that it remains uncertain whether Israel and its allies will have as much time to prepare for any new major Iranian attacks. #USMilitary #MiddleEast #Iran #Israel #Geopolitics #Defense #Security #InternationalRelations #Aviation #ConflictResolution #Geopolitics #War #USA #UPSC

"The US is pausing the delivery of Patriot interceptor missiles to other nations so it can fast-track orders for Ukraine to bolster its air defences against Russian attacks. US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby on Thursday confirmed that the US had made the “difficult but necessary decision” to prioritise delivering Patriot and NASAM missiles to Ukraine, delaying deliveries to other countries that had purchased them so that Kyiv can maintain its stockpiles “at a key moment in the war”." - Financial Times The Nexus LCM team proudly manages the U.S. Army 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s new JEDI Movement Center Europe - a key player in orchestrating logistics across the continent.

As North Korean and Chinese threats rise, US looks to lock in defense partnerships with Asian allies - from The Associated Press: The United States wrapped up its first multidomain exercise with Japan and South Korea in the East China Sea on Saturday, a step forward in Washington’s efforts to strengthen and lock in its security partnerships with key Asian allies in the face of growing threats from North Korea and China. The three-day Freedom Edge increased the sophistication of previous exercises with simultaneous air and naval drills geared toward improving joint ballistic-missile defense, anti-submarine warfare, surveillance and other skills and capabilities. The exercise, which is expected to expand in years to come, was also intended to improve the countries’ abilities to share missile warnings — increasingly important as North Korea tests ever-more sophisticated systems. Outside of Australia, Japan and South Korea are the only U.S. partners in the region with militaries sophisticated enough to integrate operations with the U.S. so that if, for example, South Korea were to detect a target, it could quickly relay details so Japanese or American counterparts could respond, said Ridzwan Rahmat, a Singapore-based analyst with the defense intelligence company Janes. “That’s the kind of interoperability that is involved in a typical war scenario,” Rahmat said. “For trilateral exercises like this the intention is to develop the interoperability between the three armed forces so that they can fight better as a cohesive fighting force.” Such exercises also carry the risk of increasing tensions, with China regularly denouncing drills in what it considers its sphere of influence, and North Korea already slamming the arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier group in the port of Busan — home to South Korea’s navy headquarters and its Gimhae Air Base — in preparation for Freedom Edge as “provocative” and “dangerous.” On Wednesday, the day after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol visited the Roosevelt in Busan, becoming the first sitting South Korean president to board a U.S. aircraft carrier since 1994, North Korea tested what it said was a multiwarhead missile, the first known launch of the developmental weapon, if confirmed.

What do we know about Iran’s attack on Israel? ▪️According to preliminary estimates, 185 Shahed drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles were fired at Israel. ▪️Where did the attack come from? Missiles and drones were fired from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. ▪️The attack lasted 5-6 hours targeting military bases and government facilities in Israel. 99% of launched missiles and drones were intercepted. ▪️After the attack on Israel, 31 people were injured. The military base received some damage. However, the base continues to receive and send planes, Iran failed to paralyze its work. ▪️Israel requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation. ▪️The EU, USA, and UN are “very troubled” and “condemn” the attack. In addition, the meetings of the G7 and the UN will be taking place. Summary: Iran’s attack on Israel had a minimal impact and largely failed. Israel was ready for the attack and had superior air defense systems. Same defense systems should be provided to Ukraine to defend against russian terrorism.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 As the IDF is on high alert for a potential Iranian response to the alleged assassination by Israel of Iran's top IRGC commander in Syria, along with five other IRGC officers, the military says there is so far no change in instructions for civilians. Instructions issued by the Home Front Command amid the war remain unchanged, and the IDF says it will update the public if any changes occur. Amid the heightened alert, the IDF called up reservists to bolster its air defense array. Possible scenarios that the IDF is preparing for include missile and drone attacks by Iran-backed groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen — all of which have been carried out amid the ongoing Gaza war — and ballistic missile attacks directly from Iran, a situation that Israel has not yet faced. The IDF also has halted home leave for all combat troops over the weekend, as Friday is assessed to be a sensitive day amid Ramadan. Regarding the military's new GPS disruptions in central Israel, the IDF recommends that Israelis manually set their location in the Home Front Command app to receive rocket alerts. GPS disruptions have been happening for months in northern Israel or areas close to Gaza, but have been less common in central Israel. The GPS signal disruptions have been part of the IDF's efforts to prevent attacks on Israel.

Turkey and Greece Join European Missile Shield Initiative Turkey and Greece have announced their participation in the European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI), led by Germany, expanding the initiative's reach to 21 participating countries. Launched in August 2022, ESSI aims to streamline joint procurement of air defense systems and address European vulnerabilities against potential threats, including those similar to Russia's actions in Ukraine. The inclusion of Turkey, despite its prior acquisition of the Russian-made S-400 air-defense system, highlights the country's dedication to NATO's collective defense objectives and signifies a crucial step towards addressing regional security challenges. NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoană commended the initiative as a demonstration of European allies' commitment to fair burden-sharing and collective defense efforts. As Europe strengthens its missile defense architecture through ESSI, the collaboration among member states signals a unified commitment to bolstering regional security and defense capabilities in the face of evolving threats. #Turkey #Greece #EuropeanSkyShieldInitiative #MissileDefense #NATO #EuropeanDefense #RegionalSecurity
