More than 112 U.S. Air Force C-17 transport aircraft are surging into the Middle East in one of the largest American airlifts in years, carrying heavy equipment, missile defenses, and thousands of troops. The buildup comes as Washington holds nuclear talks with Tehran in Oman, yet the Pentagon is positioning a strike force able to hit Iran within hours, signaling diplomacy backed by overwhelming military power.

President Trump called the negotiations “very good” but warned of “very steep” consequences if Iran rejects a deal. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group is moving closer to Iranian waters with F-35 jets and Tomahawk missiles as regional commanders project readiness for conflict.
