New satellite imagery and flight tracking data show a base in central Jordan has become a key hub for the U.S. military’s planning for possible strikes on Iran.
Imagery captured on Friday shows more than 60 attack aircraft parked at the base, known as Muwaffaq Salti, roughly tripling the number of jets that are normally there. And at least 68 cargo planes have landed at the base since Sunday, according to flight tracking data. More fighter jets could be parked under shelters.
The satellite images also show more modern aircraft, including F-35 stealth jets, compared to the aircraft normally seen there. Several drones and helicopters are also seen.
Soldiers also installed new air defenses to protect the base from incoming Iranian missiles.

Loose lips sink ...
Oh what the hell, do it and get it over with!
If the folks at the NYT today were running the paper back in 1944, they would have had the Headline, “Allied Landings On Normandy Imminent!”
“”” “Allied Landings On Normandy Imminent!””””
You forgot they would list the equipment that was to be used.
And they would point out that Patton was just a decoy.
Maybe they moved them off Diego Garcia because Starmer, the Obamite a$$ kisser, told the US they couldn’t use THEIR island to attack Iran.
Y ah loose lips. Good grief.
Well if the Mullahs didn’t know it they do now the NYT traitors made sure of it.
I’d imagine the chi-coms or someone has been feeding Iran info.
I thought about that but have no idea of the logistics of aircraft basing.
That said, if we can get all aircraft out of the Islamic State’s territory (the UK) that’s fine by me.
The NY Slimes: giving aid to the enemy. Every day.
Thank you New York Times for advertising this.
Jordan is a better ally than the limeys.
No we were helping the communists win back then.
Starmer has penis envy. That is why he hates big dog Trump.

Please, there are kids here, it’s “Pee Pee Envy.”
Open source info. We have been staging and putting pieces in position for weeks, WH has stated such actions for a while.
“Starmer has penis envy. That is why he hates big dog Trump.”
Starmer has male envy. Hopefully, true manly Brits will rise up and do whatever is needed to this little mouse before Britain becomes Britainastan. I have a special love for the times that I spent in the UK and it sickens me to see what Labor is doing to it.
Has the WH been announcing where exactly they are putting them, and how many and what type? If so, I missed that.
Extra, Extra: This just in, US troops to use inflatables to look like real tanks. Body on beach with war plans is just War Department ruse.
