Over one hundred US Air Force C-17 transport planes are en route to the Middle East, sparking speculation of a potential military buildup. Flight tracking data reveals a significant deployment of these massive aircraft since mid-January. These C-17s, capable of transporting large amounts of equipment and troops, suggest a large-scale military operation. This level of deployment is compared to that of the Desert Storm era by some observers. Ongoing indirect talks between the US and Iran, mediated by Oman, have yet to resolve key issues like Iran's ballistic missile program. Iran's foreign minister has expressed doubts about the US's commitment to serious negotiations amid the escalating military presence. The Iranian government is closely monitoring the situation, prepared to reassess the negotiations based on developments. The minister also stated that Iran would target US bases in the region if attacked. This response could potentially draw the entire region into war. The situation remains tense as the US military continues to deploy assets.
