Complicit in the Zionist occupation, Washington sent a squadron of these devices to Tel Aviv, fearful of Iran’s response after the assassination of Palestinian leader Ismael Haniyeh.
The US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, spoke this Thursday with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, to inform him of the dispatch of an F-22 combat squadron to support the Zionist regime in Israel in response to Iran, where the Zionist occupation murdered the Palestinian leader Ismael Haniyeh.

Through the social network X, Austin wrote I called Gallant today to inform him of the posture adjustments of the American forces and reinforce my support for the defense of Israel. The F-22s that have arrived in the region represent one of many efforts to deter aggression, defend Israel and protect US forces in the region».
The increase in US military presence in the Middle East comes amid a new escalation of tensions, following the assassination by Israel of the leader of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, while on an official visit to Tehran, and hours later killed the military commander of the Lebanese Islamic resistance movement, Hizbullah, Fouad Shokr in a civilian area of Beirut.
According to the press, more naval units with ballistic missile defence capabilities will also be coming into Israel. It is believed that ground-to-air capabilities can be enhanced.
This is the largest movement of Pentagon forces into the Middle East since the Israeli occupation began its criminal aggression in Gaza on October 7. Washington and London also moved forces there on the occasion of Operation True Promise, Iran’s response to the Israeli attack on its consulate in Damascus (Syrian capital) in early April, which killed several Iranian military and Syrian civilians.
On Thursday the head of the Pentagon also contacted the mediators of the conflict in Gaza (Egypt and Qatar) to discuss their alleged “interest” in ending the Israeli genocide, This demonstrates once again the hypocrisy of Washington and its double standards.
According to some experts, if the real interest of the United States is to end the war in Gaza, a single action, “stop sending weapons to Israel,” would have significant weight.
However, it is the opposite, the White House on one side talks about a ceasefire and on the other side helps one side to continue committing crimes, killing children, bombing schools, refugee camps, ambulances, pregnant women, and violating the rights of prisoners, among other criminal acts committed by Tel Aviv.
