The US Central Command announced on Thursday the arrival of F-22 aircraft to the region as part of US reinforcements to confront threats from Iran and its proxies.
"F-22 aircraft have arrived in the region to mitigate the possibility of regional escalation," the US Central Command said.
The Middle East is bracing for a possible new wave of attacks by Iran and its allies following the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) in Tehran and a senior commander in the Lebanese Hezbollah group in Beirut, raising fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said US officials were in contact with allies and partners in the region and that there was "unanimous agreement" that no party should take any actions that would escalate the situation. link
