The United States is expected to deploy six additional aerial refuelling aircraft to Israel as Washington continues to strengthen its military presence in the Middle East while nuclear negotiations with Iran remain under way.
According to Israel’s i24 News, citing open-source data and military analysts, six US Air Force tanker aircraft are due to land at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
Five KC-46 refuelling aircraft are set to depart from Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire, while a sixth aircraft is expected to fly from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina.
The reported deployment follows a series of recent US military movements to Israel, including tanker and cargo aircraft, logistical support planes and F-22 stealth fighter jets.
In addition, the USS Gerald R. Ford, the US Navy’s largest aircraft carrier, is reportedly expected to approach Israel’s coastline.
Over recent weeks, the US military has sent dozens of fighter jets, including F-35, F-22, F-15 and F-16 aircraft, along with numerous refuelling and cargo planes, to American bases across the Middle East.
The military build-up comes as indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran continue in Geneva.
Washington has not publicly commented on the reported aircraft movements.
