Khamenei’s nightmare: US triples jet power in Mid-East ally with 60+ fighters, F‑35s, drones

Tensions between Washington and Tehran are entering a volatile new phase. Satellite imagery shows more than 60 U.S. attack jets now positioned at Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, alongside drones, helicopters and new air defenses. Flight data indicates dozens of cargo planes have rushed in equipment, even as reports emerge of troop evacuations from key Gulf bases. President Trump has publicly floated a “limited” strike to pressure Iran on its nuclear program. With carriers massed and deadlines ticking, the region may be edging toward a wider confrontation.
