New Delhi: Now a big question has arisen between Israel and Iran. Is America going to join this conflict directly? Even though Washington has denied his role in the first Israeli attacks, but now his attitude is seen changing. The US has now taken a more strict stance on Iran and has started deploying its military strength in the middle East on a large scale.
US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has said that this deployment is being done to ‘strengthen defense situations’, but reports and satellite images revealed that the US is now preparing land for a big military operation. Below we are introducing the latest list of American military presence in the Middle East
1. Heavy deployment of fighter jets
The US has increased the deployment of advanced fighter jets like F-16, F-22 and F-35 in the Middle East. All these jets are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, of which F-22 and F-35 are with stealth capabilities. Three US officials told the reuters that the mission duty of these aircraft has also been extended.
2. Movement of fuel tankers
Long-term flying missions for attacks on distance targets like Iran have an important role in KC-135R Stratotankers and KC-46A Pegasus. Now these aircraft have also left for the middle East. Although the US is talking about sending them to NATO practice, analysts believe that they are also part of the preparation of the war.
3. Bombary aircraft on Diego Garcia
The Indian Ocean -based Diego Garcia is a strategic base of the US Air Force. Here bombers like B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber and B-52H Stratofortress have been deployed. These aircraft have the ability to fly long distances and demolish bunker Buster bombs, which may be necessary to destroy Iran’s underground atomic bases.
4. Marine Warships and Support Vessels
Many US Navy vessels from Manama port in Bahrain are now in activated operational mode in the Middle East. This includes Literal Combat Ships, Mine-Counter Wesses and Special Operations Madarshiship called M/V Ocean Trader.

5. Aircraft Career Strike Groups
Two major career groups of America are currently posted in the Middle East or are preparing to reach there. The USS Carl Vinson Career Group is already posted in the Arabian Sea, including aircraft like F-35C, Super Hornets, Growlers, Ospreys and Sea Hawks. The second group USS Nimitz, which is currently moving from Western Pacific towards the Middle East, is also accompanied by the entire air wing.
6. Missile Defense System – Patriot
In April, the US sent an entire Patriot missile Defense Middle East from the Pacific region. This defense mechanism has been sent through 73 C-17 cargo aircraft, which is capable of intercepting cruise and hypersonic missiles.
7. Flight of ‘Doomsed Plane’
Recently, America’s E-4B ‘Nightwatch’, also known as ‘Doomsed Plane’, flew in US AirSace. The aircraft plays the part of the war -time command center for the President and the Defense Heads. Its flying is being seen as a sign of preparation for war.
Is it possible to postpone war?
Even though the US is still avoiding to enter the war, its military deployment shows that it is fully prepared for any major development. If the conflict between Israel and Iran arises, this preparation of America can directly turn into military intervention. All this will affect not only the Middle East, but the security and economy of the whole world.
