The US Army announced the arrival of F-15 fighter jets in the Middle East, part of a military buildup aimed at deterring Iran amid escalating regional conflicts. The deployment follows recent statements from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warning that the US will take necessary measures to protect its personnel and interests if Iran or its affiliates target them. This move comes as Israel continues its military operations against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, both of which are Iranian-backed groups. The US remains Israel’s primary ally in these ongoing conflicts.
