The U.S. is bolstering its military presence in the Middle East, deploying aircraft and warships to protect Israel from potential Iranian attacks. President Trump warned Iran, suggesting a possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. While the U.S. insists actions are defensive, additional fighter jets and refueling tankers have been deployed. American warships have intercepted Iranian missiles targeting Israel. US troops are on heightened alert, and while some families have been given the option to leave bases, the exact numbers remain undisclosed. The powerful B-2 bomber, capable of carrying the bunker-busting GBU-57, is not currently in the region.
