Media: US Military Operations Resemble the Script Before the 2025 Strike on Iran
According to a report by the UK's Financial Times on Thursday, the recent military operations of the US in the Middle East show a high degree of similarity with the deployment scenario before the strike on Iran in June 2025.
The article stated: "According to data from Flightradar24, an internet service provider that provides real-time aircraft flight status from Sweden, about 29 KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft continuously transmitted location signals during the three days before February 18 as they flew east from the US to Europe. This scene is highly similar to the military aircraft movements before the US briefly intervened in the Israel-Iran conflict in June 2025."
The report pointed out that after observing about 30 refueling aircraft flying from the US to Europe, the US military soon bombed Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to CBS' report on February 18, the US military may have already been prepared to strike Iran on Saturday, but Trump had not yet made a final decision. Currently, two US aircraft carriers and more than a dozen escort ships have arrived in the region, along with dozens of fighter jets and a large number of air defense systems.
