According to a US media report reprinted by German News Agency on July 20, as the conflict with Iran escalates, the US is sending more fighter jets to the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal reports that this deployment includes an F-16 fighter that took off from the US Air Force base in Spangdahlem in western Germany, and an F-35 fighter that took off from the Royal Air Force's Lackenheath base used by the US military. The newspaper also said that air tankers are also being sent to the Middle East region. The New York Times reported on these deployments, citing US officials. The newspaper said the decision was made before two US soldiers were attacked and killed by Iran at a base in Jordan on the 17th. The move is likely to be seen as a sign that Washington is preparing for a possible expansion of military action against Iran.
