The United States deploys 200 F-22 aircrafts in UAE
The U.S. Air Force strongly denied that the purpose of deploying these aircrafts is to show force against Iran or to be used in a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

However, it says that the move is part of a routine deployment and security cooperation with regional partners.

The Air Force did not disclose the number of the aircrafts or place of deployment.

This move came amidst tensions taking place between Iran and UAE after the UAE Foreign Minister criticized the Iranian officials after issuing statements regarding three islands that Iran acknowledges to be historically belonging to Iran. The UAE claims ownership of the Islands.

UAE Al Dhafra base was converted to a U.S. military base. This further proves the fact that the UAE is becoming an Incubator for foreign bases to facilitate the war against Iran in case the decision is taken.

 “Al-Dhafra” base is considered one of the best and largest airbases and is heavily guarded. The USA had deployed Global Hawk and U2 aircrafts after September 11.

The Pentagon deployed its unique 200 F-22 S aircrafts to the base as an indication that the U.S. does not abandon its allies.
In turn, Iran confirmed more than once that all the American and Western bases in the Persian Gulf will not stop it from retaliating to any attack from countries that assault Iran, and Iran will serve severe devastating blows to western bases in the GCC.
