According to Odaily, citing the Jerusalem Post, Iran issued an aviation notice late Wednesday local time, announcing that all flights are prohibited from entering its airspace unless authorized. Flight tracking websites showed that prior to the issuance of this notice, the airspace over Iran and Iraq had already been rapidly cleared of flights. A Western military official said on Wednesday: "All signals indicate that the United States is about to launch an attack, but this is also the usual approach of the current administration—to keep everyone on high alert. Uncertainty itself is part of the strategy."

According to Odaily, citing U.S. media outlet NewsNation: Amid escalating tensions with Iran, U.S. military equipment is being deployed to the Middle East. A source familiar with the matter revealed that the United States is moving an aircraft carrier strike group to the area of responsibility of the U.S. Central Command (which covers the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia). It will take about a week to complete this operation.
