US Deploys F-22 Fighter Jets to Israel Amid Rising US-Iran Tensions

Around a dozen US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter jets have landed at an Israeli Air Force base in southern Israel amid rising tensions between the US and Iran. The jets departed from the UK’s RAF Lakenheath airbase, flying with transponders deactivated and accompanied by refueling tankers. This deployment is part of a broader US military build-up in West Asia ahead of critical nuclear talks with Iran scheduled in Geneva. Israeli officials consider a US strike likely, though diplomatic efforts continue.
