CENTCOM rejects Israeli claims of preparations for new Iran attacks

Al Mayadeen | November 14, 2026

The US military dismissed an Israeli broadcaster’s account of preparations for renewed attacks on Iran, describing the report as “pure speculation”, Anadolu reported

The dispute centers on claims by Israeli public broadcaster KAN that Washington alerted regional partners to the possibility of another round of operations while deploying additional military assets.

Among the reported deployments were approximately 200 aerial refueling aircraft stationed across Europe and the Middle East. KAN also said the aircraft carriers USS George Washington and USS George H.W. Bush were already in the region, with a third vessel, identified as the USS Roosevelt, expected in the Arabian Sea soon.

Asked by Anadolu about the report, a US Central Command (CENTCOM) official said there were no updates to the positioning of American forces in the Middle East.

KAN alleges warnings delivered through military channels

Beyond its deployment claims, KAN cited an unnamed US official as saying that CENTCOM advised “Israel” to prepare for the possibility of military operations against Iran restarting soon.

According to the broadcaster, Israeli military representatives based in the United States received the message. It further alleged that Washington contacted Gulf countries through security channels with similar warnings.

Those reported communications and deployment figures formed part of KAN’s account, which CENTCOM subsequently rejected in its response to Anadolu.
