Western intelligence officials have reported that Israel issued warnings to its partners in the United States and Germany three weeks prior regarding a potential threat. The alert specifically concerned American military installations located in Germany, according to several unnamed sources cited by a magazine.

Focus on Logistics and Operations

The primary concern centered on bases supporting US military operations and associated supply chain services linked to the conflict with Iran. These facilities were identified as vulnerable targets within the broader security environment.

A spokesperson for US European Command declined to discuss specific intelligence matters or comment on reports detailing threats and force protection measures. However, the official confirmed that the command remains vigilant and continues to assess the security situation across the European theater of operations.

German Monitoring of Iranian Activity

A source told Reuters that German authorities have been monitoring increased Iranian activity for several weeks. This observation was made without directly referencing the specific claims published in the Wirtschaftwoche article.

This development follows an announcement from the United States on Monday stating that an Iran-related threat prompted the withdrawal of B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford, a base belonging to the British Royal Air Force.
