The US Central Command posted footage on its X account showing an F-15E, one of the fighter jets deployed in the Middle East in recent days.
The post read: "Flying over Central Command's area of responsibility." The picture was uploaded after reports of sending B52 long-range bombers, refueling tankers and destroyers to the region, as well as Iran's growing threats and reports that it was planning a "complex response that includes even more powerful warheads and other weapons."
A few days ago, the Pentagon announced an increase in forces in the Middle East. According to the Pentagon's announcement, the U.S. military will deploy several additional ballistic missile defense destroyers, a fighter jet squadron, a refueling tanker, and several B-52 long-range bombers.
On Monday, Maariv reported that Dr. Farzin Nadimi, a senior researcher at the Washington Institute, claimed that Iran is expected to attack Israel on Tuesday evening with about 400 missiles, with the aim of hitting air force bases, air defense systems and defense industries in the Haifa area.
