Iranian state television ran a report on Monday saying Israeli military aircraft were massing at a U.S. air base in Iraq for a strike on Iran.
The report, for which there was no immediate corroboration, appeared on the website of Press TV.

It quoted what it said was a source close to the movement of Moqtada al-Sadr, an Iraqi Shi’ite cleric who opposes the U.S. presence in Iraq and who has close ties to Iran’s leadership.
Israel accuses Tehran of using its declared civilian nuclear reactor program to conceal a plan to develop atomic bombs that would pose a massive threat against it.
Israeli leaders have not ruled out military action against Iran.
However, there has been no recent indication of increased tensions and no other information on Monday to corroborate the Iranian television report.
An Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said she had no knowledge of any such report, adding that the military did not comment on operational matters.
