Allied Forces Also Deploy
Beyond the U.S. deployment, American military officials confirmed that F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets are now operating in the region to reinforce combat readiness. Britain has also sent Typhoon fighter jets to Qatar in what the U.K. Ministry of Defence described as a defensive deployment.
Trump has suggested that any future military action would far exceed last year’s U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, signaling that diplomatic pressure is being backed by a growing military posture.
