Dozens of Israeli fighter jets and refueling aircraft flew over Syria and Iraq toward the Iranian border earlier this week, following a flight path resembling an attack on Iran, Axios and Fox News reported
The aircraft turned around shortly before reaching Iranian territory and returned to Israel, according to an Axios report citing unnamed US and Israeli officials, following an earlier Fox News report on the matter.
Israel informed Washington of the sortie in advance, saying it was a military exercise and a show of force intended to deter Iran from attacking ahead of next week’s election, the sources told Axios.
However, some US sources said they suspected Israeli officials may have hoped Iran would fire on the aircraft, providing Israel with justification to launch an attack.
Good luck to Iran against the terrorist forces of USA and Israel.
They think this is strength 🤦♀️
Same thing Russia and China do regularly.
What does it mean then if America flies over its own civilians?
That’s not really applicable.
What is applicable, is the few times Trump has had USAF fly close to the Canadian border.
I would say it’s still applicable as a show of force.
