Als Erstes entsenden die USA Kampfjets nach Israel für einen möglichen Kriegseinsatz im Iran

The U.S. has sent top-of-the-line fighters to Israel, marking the first time it has deployed combat aircraft to the country for a potential wartime mission as the two nations prepare to square off against Iran.

The F-22 deployment comes as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have said they won’t let the U.S. use their airspace or territory for an attack on Iran, limiting American options for basing the hundreds of aircraft necessary for a major operation.

Taken together, these deployments mark a sea change in the American military posture following the Abraham Accords during the first Trump administration, which led to the normalization of Israel’s relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and others. For decades prior to the accords, U.S. forces in the Middle East had sought to avoid the impression that they were closely integrated with the Israeli military.
