    Biden literally said Israel can attack iranian oil facilities. Many exerices was made to prepare for a war with Iran

    Chariots of Fire" (2022): A month-long exercise that simulated a multi-front war, including long-range strike capabilities specifically designed to reach Iranian nuclear facilities.

    ​Aerial Refueling Readiness: Israel accelerated the acquisition and testing of KC-46A Pegasus tankers to enable fighter jets (like the F-35) to reach Iran and return without landing in neighboring countries.

    ​"Juniper Oak" (2023): The largest-ever joint U.S.-Israel military exercise. While the Biden administration framed it as “regional stability” training, it was widely viewed as a rehearsal for destroying hardened targets, featuring live-fire drills with B-52 bombers and precision-guided munitions.
