The US Army in the Middle East has increased its alertness for fears of a possible attack by Iranian militias in Iraq. Reported by the authoritative publication Politico, citing an unidentified military official on December 10.
According to him, the Pentagon sees “worrying signs of readiness for possible attacks.”
A pair of American B-52H Stratofortress bombers left the United States and headed for the Middle East, AP reported. Their goal is to send a terrifying signal to Iran.
“The ability of bombers to fly nonstop around half the world and integrate them quickly [в выполнение задач] with numerous regional partners demonstrates our close relationship and our shared commitment to regional security and stability, “said Gen. Frank Mackenzie, United States Commander, Middle East.
On December 8, the AP, citing a high-ranking military source, wrote that Washington expects attacks from Iran in the context of the US withdrawal of its armed forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Recall that at the end of November, the father of the Iranian nuclear program, the scientist Mohsen Fakhrizade Makhabadi, was assassinated near Tehran. Unidentified militants fired at his cortege from an ambush.
