Israel says U.S. bombers used its bases to strike Iran

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz stated on July 28, 2026, that American warplanes used Israeli bases during their attacks on Iran, reiterating that Israel would retaliate with full force if targeted. Katz noted that Iran is currently firing at everything in the region except Israel, but warned the situation could change within an hour. The remarks come after 13 nights of U.S. strikes on Iran following the collapse of an April ceasefire. Israel has not participated in the latest hostilities. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a negotiated peace deal with Iran as both sides held fire for a third consecutive day.
