The United States is rapidly reinforcing its missile and air defenses across the Middle East as fears grow over potential Iranian retaliation. Massive C-5M Super Galaxy transport aircraft have been flying nonstop into the region, delivering advanced THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems to protect U.S. bases, Israel, and Gulf allies.

This defensive buildup comes amid rising tensions following Iranian drone attacks, concerns over ballistic missile strikes, and the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group. While these layered defenses significantly raise the cost of escalation for Iran, military experts warn no system is foolproof — especially against large-scale missile salvos designed to overwhelm interceptors.

As Washington prepares for possible Iranian missile or drone retaliation, the question remains: will these defenses be enough to prevent a wider regional war?
