At present, the situation in the Middle East is tense. Faced with the potential risk of escalation, the United States has taken emergency action. On August 4, CCTV News quoted the latest report from the US media, saying that two US officials said that the commander of the US Central Command, Kurilla, arrived in the Middle East that day. The purpose of his trip was to coordinate with regional countries to prepare for a possible attack by Iran on Israel.

It is reported that several US and Israeli officials said they expect Iran to attack Israel as early as August 5 local time. Israel and the United States are coordinating regional and international coalitions to prevent potential attacks.

At a critical moment, a major conflict was exposed in Israel. According to Israeli media reports, recently, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had a fierce argument with Israeli Defense Minister Galant and Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Halevy, who supported reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza as soon as possible, at a high-level security meeting in Israel. Due to differences of opinion, Netanyahu has planned to remove Israeli Defense Minister Galant and Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Halevy from their posts.

Urgent Action

On August 4, China News Service quoted the American news website Axios as saying that several US and Israeli officials said they expected Iran to attack Israel as early as August 5 local time.

Israel and the United States are reportedly coordinating regional and international coalitions to prevent potential attacks.

Faced with the potential risk of escalating the situation, the United States took emergency action. According to CCTV News, citing a U.S. media report on August 3, local time, two U.S. officials said that the commander of the U.S. Central Command, General Kurilla, arrived in the Middle East that day.

The report said the purpose of his trip was to coordinate with regional countries to prepare for a possible Iranian attack on Israel. The report said Kurira is expected to visit Jordan, Israel and several Gulf countries.

The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Central Command did not respond to this news.

Axios, citing two U.S. officials, said Kurila's visit came as the United States and Israel were preparing for possible Iranian retaliation following the recent killings of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

Earlier, Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah leaders had issued stern warnings and threatened retaliation. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said "Israel will be severely punished," while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned that "Tel Aviv will bear the consequences of its actions."

U.S. and Israeli officials are closely watching the situation, unsure whether Iran and Hezbollah will coordinate their actions or act alone. Intelligence shows both sides are finalizing military strategies and seeking political approval for a possible strike.

The Pentagon said on August 2 that the United States is strengthening its defense posture in the Middle East to prepare for possible attacks on Israel by Iran and its terrorist proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and is sending more warships and fighter jets to the region.

Sabrina Singer, deputy Pentagon press secretary, said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "has ordered adjustments to the U.S. military posture designed to improve the protection of American forces, increase support for Israel's defense, and ensure the United States is prepared for a variety of contingencies."

Austin ordered the replacement of the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group with the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, and will also send destroyers and cruisers with ballistic missile defense capabilities to the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.

According to the Qatari newspaper Al Arabiya, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi will visit Tehran on August 4 to discuss the escalating security situation in the Middle East following the assassination of Haniyeh.

Internal contradictions

On August 4, according to CCTV News citing Israeli media reports, recently, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had a fierce argument with Israeli Defense Minister Galant and IDF Chief of Staff Halevy, who supported reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza as soon as possible, at a high-level security meeting in Israel.

Israeli media reported that Netanyahu has planned to remove Galant and Halevy from their posts due to differences of opinion.

On August 3rd local time, The Times of Israel quoted Israel Channel 12 as reporting that Netanyahu told US President Biden in a phone call on August 1st local time that Israel is advancing negotiations with Hamas on a hostage-for-ceasefire agreement and will soon send a delegation to resume negotiations.

Channel 12 disclosed the conversation without citing sources, saying Biden told Netanyahu directly: "Stop talking nonsense to me." It is reported that these negotiations have been going on for several months without any results. Biden previously believed that Netanyahu was deliberately delaying for domestic political reasons.

Biden's remarks came against the backdrop of Israel and the United States working together to counter a potential all-out war with Iran and its proxies, the report said.

In response to this report, Netanyahu's office responded on August 3 local time that Netanyahu would not comment on his private discussions with the US president. The statement said that no matter who is elected as the US president, Netanyahu will not interfere in US politics and will cooperate with them, and hopes that Americans will not interfere in Israeli politics.

The New York Times also reported that Biden said in this call with Netanyahu that it was "wrong timing" for Israel to assassinate Haniyeh in Iran at this time, as the ceasefire and hostage release agreement that the United States hopes to reach is in the "final stage" of negotiations.

The newspaper quoted a US official as saying that Biden also believed that the operation could also trigger a regional war. However, Netanyahu denied that he was a party to hinder the negotiations and blamed Hamas.

A report by Axios on August 2 local time pointed out that Biden privately issued a "tough warning" to Netanyahu on August 1, asking him to stop escalating regional tensions and immediately reach a ceasefire and hostage agreement, otherwise don't expect the United States to provide help again.
