Four F-15 Eagle jets from the United States are reportedly heading toward the Middle East, supported by larger aerial refuelling tankers to extend their range.
The deployment comes amid heightened tensions involving Iran and increased military signalling across the region.
Aerial refuelling allows the fighters to sustain long distance operations and rapid redeployment.
The movement is likely to be viewed as a deterrent posture as Washington adjusts force positioning in response to unfolding regional developments.
