There is a situation of tension between America and Iran. President Donald Trump wants Iran to completely stop its nuclear program. Talks are going to be held between Iran and America on Friday (6 February). Meanwhile, an important news has come to light. It is being claimed that American F-15 fighter jets have been deployed at the Jordanian airbase. Jordan has promised to support Iran. In such a situation this news is shocking.
Actually, a satellite image has come out from ‘Planet Labs PBC’, through which it is being claimed that 12 American fighter jets F-15 have been deployed at the Jordanian airbase. This picture is going to shock Iran, because Jordan had recently given a statement in favor of Iran. He had said that he would not allow his airbase to be used for any military action against Iran.
Is Jordan betraying Iran?
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi spoke to Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi via phone call on Monday (February 2). During this time there was talk about strengthening the relations between the two countries. According to the report of ‘The Times of Israel’, Ayman Safadi had said that Jordan would not allow its territory to be used for any kind of military action against Iran, but now the satellite images that have surfaced have raised questions on his statement.
What is the truth about America’s military deployment
According to the report of ‘BBC Verify’ on Thursday, satellite images have shown that about a dozen F-15 fighter jets, an MQ-9 Reaper combat drone and several A-10C Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft have arrived at Salti Air Base in Jordan. It has also been claimed that America has also deployed some guided missiles.
F-15 is one of the deadliest fighter planes
America’s F-15 is one of the most deadly fighter jets in the world. This air to air combat is considered quite powerful. The F-15 can fly at a speed of Mach 2.5 (about 3,000 kilometers per hour). The two ‘Pratt & Whitney’ engines fitted in it enable it to fly straight towards the sky at an angle of 90 degrees immediately after take-off. Talking about firepower, it can fly with about 13.6 tons of weapons. 22 air-to-air missiles can also be deployed in it.
