A dozen F-22 Raptor fighter jets, valued at over $4 billion, have arrived at an Israeli air force base as part of a significant US military buildup in the Middle East.
These advanced jets, costing approximately $350 million each, were previously stationed in England. Their deployment coincides with heightened tensions with Iran and follows the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier off Israel's coast.
This military posturing occurs as nuclear talks between the US and Iran are scheduled, with President Trump having previously threatened military action if negotiations fail. The article also references past US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran's vows of retaliation.
Over 300 US military aircraft are reportedly deployed across the region.
