The open-source intelligence research team Faytuks Network points out that reports indicate a surge in fighter jet activity over Iraq, particularly near the Iranian border, where Iranian Air Force aircraft are also operating. Furthermore, there are reports that the Israeli Air Force is conducting joint attack simulation exercises with the US Air Force. In fact, similar military activity has been ongoing over Syria and Iraq for the past two weeks, closely resembling the situation in the weeks leading up to February 28th. According to Faytuks Network's analysis, besides military training, the primary purpose of these actions is to keep Iran on high alert every night, significantly increasing the difficulty for Iran in predicting when an actual attack might occur. Additionally, reports indicate that the US embassy in the Middle East issued a new security alert last night. Based on this, it is judged that any night starting today could be a potential opportunity for an attack. While the likelihood of an attack before the election is relatively low, it cannot be completely ruled out.
