According to open sources, the US has sharply increased its military presence in the Middle East:
✈️ Aircraft
Fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets and EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft took off from bases in Puerto Rico and Virginia. Today, they landed in Spain for refueling—a standard procedure before deploying to the region.
🚢 Fleet
American naval groups are concentrated near Iran. They are estimated to be capable of simultaneously launching over 300 cruise missiles.
📌 These same types of aircraft have previously been used in actual combat and security operations—not just “training exercises.”
🧳 Political Signal
It is reported that Iranian President Pezeshkian urgently flew to Moscow—officially for talks. Unofficially, this is being seen in the region as an attempt to buy time.
