Amid the diplomatic tensions over Tehran's nuclear programme, the US has reportedly moved over 150 military aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East in recent days. As per the satellite imagery and flight-tracking data reviewed by The Washington Post, the buildup includes cargo planes, refuelling aircraft and combat jets, and marks one of the largest US force deployments in the region in more than two decades. The newspaper added that the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford was near Crete, joining the USS Abraham Lincoln.
