U.S. Air Force has kicked off large-scale, multi-day military exercises across the Middle East, moving jets, carriers, and allied forces closer to Iran. While officials insist these drills are for deterrence, rising tensions with Tehran and a buildup of U.S. troops and assets have sparked fears of potential conflict. Behind the scenes, backchannel diplomacy reportedly delayed planned strikes, but Iran remains on alert as the situation escalates.
