Iran has closed off its western airspace as it launches a large-scale, unannounced ballistic missile and air defense exercise.

Israel, reportedly alarmed by the nature of the drill, has opened public bomb shelters in Haifa and Tel Aviv.

Officials suspect this drill may not be routine but a possible preemptive posture by Tehran.

A U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton drone (OVRLD01) has been spotted off the coast of Iran, collecting intelligence on the IRGC’s movements.

British Royal Air Force aircraft (RRR9961) and other NATO & CENTCOM tankers are operating continuously over Jordan and Syria.
