US Central Command (CENTCOM) has described reports that it told Israel to prepare for a possible resumption of the Iran campaign as "speculation", according to the Iran International live blog. The response follows a Kan News report on Thursday 12 November that cited an American official.
Kan reported that CENTCOM advised Israeli military representatives in the US to prepare for the possibility that the campaign in Iran could resume soon, Israel National News reports. Iran International says Kan also cited a US source as saying similar messages were passed through military channels to Israel and Persian Gulf countries.
Iran International reported CENTCOM's response at 19:08 GMT. The full wording of that response, and how it was issued, are not yet clear.
The Kan report goes further than the broadcaster's earlier report, aired late on Wednesday, that Israel's security cabinet had told the military to step up preparations for a possible attack on Iran. The Israeli government and military have not confirmed that report on the record. Neither report has been independently checked.
