The United States has begun moving another six F-22 stealth fighter jets toward the Middle East, The Times of Israel reported on Wednesday, citing analysts monitoring open-source flight tracking data. According to the report, the new batch of American fighter jets took off earlier today from the US and flew alongside their accompanying refuelling aircraft, heading for the Royal Air Force base at Lakenheath, England. The six additional fighters are expected to be deployed to an Israeli Air Force base in southern Israel, where another 11 F-22 Raptors landed yesterday. The movement of fighter jets comes as the US is building up its military assets in the Middle East, while US President Donald Trump weighs whether to launch strikes against Iran.
