US Deploys B-52 Bombers and F-16 Fighters to Qatar Amid Rising Tensions with Iran Ahead of Elections
Nov 3, 2024, 11:12 AM
The United States has deployed B-52 strategic bombers to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, amid rising tensions with Iran. This move is seen as a strategic deterrent in response to Iran's promised strike on Israel. The deployment includes additional support from KC-135 Stratotankers and F-16 fighters, which have also been sent to the region. The bombers' proximity to Iran, just 200 km away, underscores the seriousness of the situation. This deployment marks the first time in recent history that B-52 bombers are stationed at Al Udeid Air Base, indicating a significant shift in U.S. military strategy in the Middle East. The Wisconsin Air National Guard and Minot AFB are involved in this operation. The timing of this deployment, on the eve of the US elections, suggests a possible political motive.
