'Juniper Oak': USA, Israel Air Force launch new military drill with an eye on Iran | Oneindia News

The Israeli and American air forces are conducting a joint drill, the latest in a series of exercises apparently aimed at readying the Israel Defense Forces for a potential strike in Iran.

In a statement, the IDF said that the aerial drill, dubbed ‘Juniper Oak’, would include the Israeli Air Force carrying out airstrikes against “strategic targets in the depth,” an apparent reference to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Additionally, the air drills would simulate “achieving aerial superiority in the region and cyber ​​defense against a variety of threats,” the IDF said.

The Central Command of the US military i.e CENTCOM, which oversees operations in the Middle East, said that the joint training, shows the US “commitment to Israel’s defense”.
