Unconfirmed reports circulating on Iranian and other Middle Eastern social media accounts claim Israeli fighter jets approached and entered Iranian airspace multiple times over the past day without carrying out strikes, repeatedly triggering Iranian air defenses and reportedly prompting evacuations at IRGC bases. Separate reports claim Israeli jets later approached Iraqi airspace alongside U.S. refueling tankers.
The repeated activity has fueled speculation that Israel and the U.S. may be testing Iranian air defenses ahead of possible future operations.
