The White House has said that the threat of an imminent attack by Iran on Israel is real and viable.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby added that the United States is looking at its own force posture in the region in light of Tehran’s threat and is watching the situation very closely.
In a wide-ranging update, the White House said it was still waiting on a response from Hamas after the latest round of hostage talks but said it can’t verify the militant group’s claim that they do not have 40 hostages.
Mr Kirby also said more than 1,000 aid trucks had entered Gaza in the last few days.
