What US Planning for Iran: Amidst the increasing tension in the Middle East, unusual activity is being seen at the US military base in Diego Garcia. According to open source intelligence sources, America is increasingly sending war planes, refueling aircraft and naval ships towards this region. This has raised the question whether America is planning any such secret action against Iran, like it did in Venezuela?

US President Donald Trump had given information through his social media handle about not attacking Iran, but what he said about change of leadership has created apprehensions. The US had announced not to send American troops, but Trump’s rhetoric regarding Khamenei has not stopped. In such a situation, when American planes roar in the sky of the Middle East, the question arises – is the trouble not over yet?

What movements of American planes were seen?

It is being told from OSINT sources that American warships are hovering in the area around the Middle East. Among the aircraft seen were 4 aerial refueling aircraft and 12 F-15 fighter jets of the US Air Force. It is being told that one of these F-15 aircraft gave its identification signal in an unusual way, which is being considered as a deliberate strategic message. With this, the American aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln is expected to reach the Arabian Sea area by January 23.

C-17A Globemaster-III in Diego Garcia

The news that is being received from open sources. according to them

• Four C-17A Globemaster-III heavy transport aircraft are headed to Diego Garcia from Western Europe.
• Aircraft like the C-17 are commonly used for deployment of troops, weapons, logistics and support systems.

Strategically, the importance of Diego Garcia increases because it is an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, from where it comes within the operational range of strategic bombing missions against targets located inside Iran. This is the reason why any major deployment here is not taken lightly.

Is there a plan for operation in Iran?

However, till now there has been no official confirmation from America about a direct attack on Iran. But it is also being speculated that such a large number of fighter jets, tanker aircraft, transport aircraft and aircraft carriers are not deployed just like that. Even then the American plane deliberately switched on its signal. However, it is also possible that America just wants to put pressure on Iran through this or it may be looking for limited military action.

Testing in Venezuela, practice in Iran?

There is also speculation that Donald Trump may want to do in Iran what he did in Venezuela. His desire for leadership change in Iran further strengthens this. May they suddenly reach Khamenei’s stronghold one night after military deployment? However, this will not be so easy because Iran’s army is also fully prepared and it is with Khamenei. If this had not happened, this country would not have been able to suppress the 15-day violent movement. Until an official announcement is made, the situation regarding any direct American operation in Iran remains in the realm of speculation, but it is clear that America is fully preparing itself for any possible situation.
