On 13 November 19:04, reports indicated that Israel's security cabinet has instructed the IDF to increase readiness for a potential strike against Iran. While KAN reported these measures could escalate tensions, there is no official confirmation of an imminent attack. Tensions remain high as Tehran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz unless US sanctions and blockades are lifted. Meanwhile, the US has established Task Force Iron Gate, though no new major deployments or authorized strikes have been announced as of the upcoming cabinet meeting.
