The U.S. Air Force has deployed one of its two RC-135U Combat Sent strategic reconnaissance aircraft to the Middle East, according to Israeli state broadcaster KAN. The move is being linked to possible military preparations involving Iran, though no specific timeline or mission details were disclosed. The RC-135U is a scarce, high-value signals-intelligence platform, making the deployment notable given that only two exist in the entire U.S. inventory. The aircraft's relocation signals heightened U.S. attention to the region amid ongoing tensions with Tehran. What to watch next: whether additional U.S. assets follow and whether the deployment is accompanied by diplomatic signals or further military posturing toward Iran.
