WSJ: The U.S. Military Hardware Pouring Into the Middle East
U.S. forces now include two carrier strike groups, 50 fighters, and over 100 air tankers, signaling readiness for prolonged operations against Iran, experts say.
- In the last few days the U.S. military buildup in the Middle East reached a critical mass able to sustain a bombing campaign against Iran.
- The administration says the deployments aim to pressure Iran to give up its nuclear program and secure concessions, while President Trump remains non-committal about using force.
- A second aircraft carrier is moving into the Mediterranean and about 50 additional fighter jets are arriving, with observers saying the force posture can sustain operations for weeks.
- Analysts warn the posture raises the risk of broader conflict as Iran predicts any U.S. military conflict would exceed last summer's 12-day war with Israel, while President Trump remains non-committal and has not detailed aims.
- Analysts note the buildup exceeds pressure-only levels and appears poised for sustained operations, aiming to boost leverage in nuclear negotiations with Iran but raising risks to regional stability.
