Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jordan, the UAE, and the UK are ready to provide Washington with intelligence and logistical support in the event of a US attack on Iran, Hebrew newspaper <em>Israel Hayom<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.co.il\/news\/geopolitics\/article\/19745600\">reported<\/a> over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, top officials in US President Donald Trump\u2019s government are pushing for a \u201cstrong attack\u201d against Iran, which would come as a \u201cfundamental strategic move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It adds that the US attack will be backed by Abu Dhabi as well as several European countries and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>This could include sharing intelligence and operational data, as well as assistance in intercepting Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles or drones \u2013 as was the case in previous Iranian strikes on Israel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Israel Hayom<\/em> says these operations will aim to defend Israel, Washington\u2019s bases in West Asia, and energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The report comes as Israel is on high alert over the potential US strikes and Iranian retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know where this is heading. We see the force buildup the US is carrying out, both in the Persian Gulf and throughout the region,\u201d Israeli army Northern Command <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/northern-command-chief-idf-ready-on-all-fronts-if-us-attack-on-iran-sparks-retaliation\/\">chief<\/a> Rafi Milo told Hebrew outlet Channel 12. \u201cWe are very alert, very prepared, and ready both in strong defense and in preparing offensive responses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Israel Hayom<\/em> report follows a weekend meeting between the head of US <a href=\"https:\/\/thecradle.co\/articles\/israeli-army-centcom-chiefs-hold-extended-meeting-amid-threats-of-war-on-iran\">CENTCOM<\/a> and Israel\u2019s chief of staff, marking their second meeting this month.<\/p>\n<p>The US army has moved an aircraft carrier and other key military assets towards the region in recent days.<\/p>\n<p>A source cited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/iranian-drone-swarms-pose-credible-threat-uss-abraham-lincoln-carrier-group-defense-expert-says\">Fox News <\/a>on Monday said the USS Abraham Lincoln has not yet crossed into CENTCOM\u2019s area of responsibility in the Indian Ocean. \u201cIt is close, but technically not in CENTCOM yet,\u201d the source said, meaning the carrier is not yet in striking distance of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Chell, CEO and co-founder of aircraft manufacturer Draganfly, told Fox News that Iranian drones pose a \u201ccredible threat\u201d to the aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran\u2019s drone capabilities are worth well into the tens of millions of dollars. By pairing low-cost warheads with inexpensive delivery platforms, essentially remotely piloted aircraft, Iran has developed an effective asymmetric threat against highly sophisticated military systems. If hundreds are launched in a short period of time, some are almost certain to get through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModern defense systems were not originally designed to counter that kind of saturation attack,\u201d the expert added.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few weeks, Iran faced widespread riots after economic protests turned violent following the collapse of the Iranian currency, caused by years of brutal US sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Western-based rights groups claim thousands of peaceful protesters have been killed. Iran has detained hundreds of armed rioters, many of whom have been found with links to the Mossad, and are behind the killing of scores of civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Former CIA director Mike Pompeo admitted at the start of January that Mossad agents were on the ground in the protests.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple reports confirmed Iran\u2019s use of military-grade GPS jammers to shut off Starlink, which had been deployed to Iran in a US-backed effort to \u2018aid\u2019 protesters amid an internet shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Iran was able to significantly reduce riots and foreign-backed sabotage operations that included the killing of over 100 security forces and police officers. Tens of thousands of Starlink devices were seized or shut off.<\/p>\n<p>The unrest in Iran began on 29 December 2025 following street protests sparked by a sharp fall in the Iranian rial.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on 23 January in a post on X that the total death toll as a result of the riots is 3,117, including 2,427 civilians and security forces, and 690 \u201cterrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Mayhem of the recent terrorist operation in Iran:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf 305 ambulances and buses<br \/>\n\u25cf 24 gas stations<br \/>\n\u25cf 700 convenience stores<br \/>\n\u25cf 300 private homes<br \/>\n\u25cf 750 banks<br \/>\n\u25cf 414 government buildings<br \/>\n\u25cf 749 police stations<br \/>\n\u25cf 120 Basij centers<br \/>\n\u25cf 200 schools<br \/>\n\u25cf 350 mosques<br \/>\n\u25cf 15 libraries<br \/>\n\u25cf 2\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/65OKkEfprk\">https:\/\/t.co\/65OKkEfprk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/araghchi\/status\/2014688298472460563?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 23, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump called off his planned attack on Iran earlier this month, after vowing to hit the country \u201chard\u201d and \u201crescue\u201d protesters.
