🔶 The United States “is sending new fighter jets to the Middle East”

CNN, citing a U.S. official, wrote that the United States intends to deploy additional F-16 and F-35 fighter jets from its bases in Europe to the region, along with a number of tanker aircraft.

An Israeli source has also said that, in recent days, dozens of U.S. refueling aircraft have entered Israel, and the process of deploying them is still ongoing.

According to the source, during the March operations, around 94 refueling aircraft were present in the region, and this number had fallen to 40, but since last week the trend has risen again.

These additional equipment and facilities could give Donald Trump, the U.S. president, more room to choose among different options in facing the escalating confrontation.
