Why Did the U.S. Just Send Its “Invisible” Jets to the Middle East?
The Middle East just got a major military upgrade. For the first time ever, the U.S. has sent a fleet of F-22 Raptor stealth jets to an Israeli airbase. These “invisible” planes are the most advanced in the world—so secret that the U.S. won’t even sell them to its closest allies. Landing at the Ovda Airbase in the south, these 12 jets are part of a massive buildup that includes the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, currently heading toward Israel’s coast.
This move is a loud warning to Tehran. While peace talks are happening in Geneva, President Donald Trump has set a 10-day deadline for a nuclear deal. If those talks fail, these F-22s are designed to be the “first through the door,” capable of slipping past Iran’s radars to take out air defenses. Whether this is just a show of force or the first step toward a strike, it’s clear the U.S. is ready for anything as the countdown continues.
