According to CoinMeta, on the evening of October 21st local time, Israel's Channel 12 television station cited information from American officials, stating that earlier this week, dozens of Israeli fighter jets and refueling planes flew over Syria and Iraq, approaching the Iranian border. Their flight routes were highly similar to those used in attacks targeting Iran. The United States suspects that this Israeli move was intended to provoke Iran and claimed that these jets turned back to Israel before entering Iranian territory. Before the operation, Israel informed the United States, stating that the action was a military exercise and a display of force aimed at deterring Iran. However, sources believe that some Israeli officials actually attempted to provoke Iran into firing at the Israeli jets, thereby providing an excuse for Israel to launch a military strike against Iran.
