WASHINGTON: Advanced American F-22 stealth warplanes arrived in the Middle East on Thursday, the US military said, as Washington boosts its forces in the region ahead of an expected Iranian counterattack on Israel.
The deployment is part of “force posture changes in the region to mitigate the possibility of regional escalation by Iran or its proxies,” US Central Command said on social media, without specifying the number or exact location of the planes.
The Pentagon said last week that Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin had ordered assets including additional warships and a fighter squadron to the region.
