‘Dozens of US warplanes’ spotted at Jordan base amid Iran tensions – report
New satellite imagery and flight tracking data show more than 60 US attack aircraft parked at the Muwaffaq Salti base in central Jordan, approximately tripling the number of jets that are normally there, The New York Times (NYT) reports.
“The satellite images also show more modern aircraft, including F-35 stealth jets, compared to the aircraft normally seen there. Several drones and helicopters are also seen,” according to the NYT.
Donald Trump earlier said that he is considering a limited military strike on Iran to pressure it to make a nuclear deal. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for his part pledged that Iran’s draft of the agreement would be ready in the next three days. He described the US military buildup in the region as "absolutely unnecessary and unhealthy," stressing that diplomacy is the only solution.
