The current round of fighting between the United States and Iran is not expected to spill over to Israel, The Jerusalem Post learned on Thursday.
IDF officials do not expect Israel to be drawn into the US-Iran exchanges at this time, though they said that the military is ready for any eventuality.
Additionally, the officials said that the current assumption is that Iran doesn't plan to drag Israel into the conflict, with no expected Iranian strikes in the near future.
This might change in case the US tells Israel that it needs the IDF to join in striking Iran, sources told the Post.
Iranian missiles trigger sirens in Jordan, 150km away from Israeli border
One of the latest Iranian attacks triggered sirens in Jordan, with Jordanian authorities saying that ten missiles were intercepted over its territory.
According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the attack targeted the Azraq Air Base of the US Air Force, which is located some 150 kilometers away from the Israeli border.
Iranian strikes also targeted US assets in several Gulf states, with sirens sounding in Bahrain and Kuwait, among other areas targeted by the Islamic regime.
Iran's air force is flying fighter jets to "secure the skies over the funeral procession" of the former supreme leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, the regime-affiliated Fars news agency said.
US strikes key targets in Iran
The US struck several sites in Iran, with one of the main targets reportedly being a railway bridge connecting Tehran and Mashhad, state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) claimed.
“Following the criminal US attack early this morning on a section of the Tehran-Mashhad railway, passenger train services have been disrupted," IRIB posted on X/Twitter on Thursday.
Passengers stranded due to the disruption reportedly began chanting, "Iranians do not accept humiliation, even at the cost of their own lives."
A Russian-built nuclear power plant was also reportedly hit in US strikes on Iran's Bushehr province early Thursday morning, according to Iranian state media.
The deputy governor of Bushehr Province said that a US projectile hit the perimeter area of the facility, which had already been hit several times during the current conflict prior to the April 8 ceasefire.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on X/Twitter that it had struck approximately 90 sites throughout southern Iran to "further degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civil mariners in the Strait of Hormuz."
