Reports indicate that a squadron of US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter aircraft has arrived in Jordan from the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier. The fighters are equipped with various missiles, including AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9X Sidewinder, all live missiles.

This deployment is seen as a strategic move by the United States to strengthen its military presence in the Middle East amid concerns of potential attacks by Iran and the axis of resistance. The positioning of these aircraft in Jordan’s “Muwafaq Salti” Air Base is strategically significant, given its central location in the region.

Previously, US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles stationed in Jordan played a crucial role in Israel’s defense against Iranian threats. With tensions rising in the region, the presence of these fighter jets serves as a deterrent against potential aggression.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation.
