You dont

 

send a carrier strike force

and a fighter squadron

to the Middle East,

and then think

US Central Command 

announces arrival of F-15 squadron 

in Mideast 

amid tensions with Iran

The Times of Israel 1/20/26


"The US Central Command says it has boosted its capabilities in the Middle East with the arrival of an F-15 fighter jet squadron, amid the ongoing tensions with Iran."

"CENTCOM publishes a photo of an F-15E from the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron landing at an undisclosed base in the Middle East earlier this week."

"The same squadron was deployed to the Middle East in April 2024 to counter Iran’s drone and missile barrage on Israel."

"CENTCOM says the presence of the F-15s in the region “enhances combat readiness and promotes regional security and stability.”

"Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is still reportedly on its way to the Middle East, which will further boost the US’s available firepower and defensive capabilities, and give President Donald Trump the option to launch an attack on Iran against the backdrop of the regime’s killing of protesters.


Storm clouds are brewing.

Decision time.

Whose team 

are you on?
