US to send F-16 fighter jets to Gulf region amid renewed tensions with Iran | Oneindia News
The United States is beefing up its use of fighter jets around the strategic Strait of Hormuz to protect ships from Iranian seizures.
Yesterday, a senior defense official said that the U.S. is increasingly concerned about the growing ties between Iran, Russia and Syria across the Middle East.
In response to the recent incidents of Iran trying to seize two oil tankers..and opening fire on one of them near the Strait of Hormuz,the U.S. will send F-16 fighter jets to the Gulf region this weekend to augment the A-10 attack aircraft that have been patrolling there for more than a week.
The U.S. Navy said in both instances the Iranian naval vessels backed off when the USS McFaul, a guided-missile destroyer, arrived on the scene.
The newly deployed F-16s will give air cover to the ships moving through the waterway and increase the military's visibility in the area, as a deterrent to Iran.The Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
It is the world's most important oil chokepoint because of the large volumes of oil that flow through the strait.
Although the narrowest point in the strait is just 33km wide, the shipping lanes in both directions are only 3km wide

Israel's airstrikes on Damascus have killed at least 15 people and injured 16 others, many of whom were women and children. The attack targeted residential buildings in the Mazzeh neighborhood and the Qudsaya area, carried out by Israeli warplanes coming from the occupied Golan Heights. This comes as Israel continues its military campaign in Gaza and Lebanon, where the death toll has been rising. These strikes also reflect Israel's ongoing efforts to target military positions linked to Hezbollah and Syrian forces in the region. In this video, we explore the broader context behind the Israeli airstrike, its implications for Syria, and its connection to Israel's regional strategy against resistance movements.

In a bold statement, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to create a 30-kilometer-deep security zone within Syria. The zone is aimed at targeting Kurdish militants, particularly those from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its affiliates, the PYD and YPG. These groups are considered terrorist organizations by Turkey, and Erdogan emphasized the need for such a zone to secure Turkey’s borders and combat terrorism.

The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region. The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria. Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces. The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region. Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants. The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.

A deadly attack on the largest U.S. military command post in Syria has sent shockwaves through the region. Multiple rockets were fired at the base located at the al-Omar Oilfield in Dayr al-Zawr, Syria, triggering a series of powerful explosions. The assault marks a significant escalation in tensions between U.S. forces and regional resistance groups. While the full extent of the damage remains unclear, sources report widespread destruction at the command post, a key U.S. operational hub in Syria. The attack follows a pattern of increasing resistance strikes against American positions in the country and comes amid growing geopolitical volatility in the Middle East.

In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia. Houthi warned of potential strikes on U.S. warships if they entered the Red Sea, while hailing Yemeni forces for their successful naval attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham. He criticised Arab regimes for their ties with Israel and urged a mass uprising in Yemen to show solidarity with Palestine, calling for nationwide protests against the U.S-Israeli aggression.

Putin and Saudi Crown Prince MBS held a phone discussion on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and oil markets amid Trump's US election victory. The call, initiated by Saudi Arabia, covered OPEC Plus coordination and bilateral relations. With Trump's pro-Israel stance and history of facilitating Saudi-Israel normalization, this conversation gains strategic significance. As US-Saudi relations may improve under Trump, Putin's engagement suggests Russia's effort to maintain Middle East influence, while leveraging OPEC Plus partnerships.
