Flight tracking data showed at least five tankers — two KC-135 Stratotankers and three KC-46A Pegasus aircraft — along with a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol plane active in the strategically vital waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

An Iranian source cited by the state-linked Fars News Agency said Iran is monitoring U.S. military movements in the region. The source warned that any country participating in military action against Iran would be subject to retaliation.

The developments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. Trump has not publicly detailed the purpose of the national security meeting.

Iran ignored Trump’s threats and ultimatums. Now he goes back to his War, which GOP does not want, his Arab “allies” do not want, and 75% USA does not want. So what next?
