Stealthy US Air Force F-22 Raptor jets have arrived in the Middle East in a show of force meant to deter Iran and its proxies from attacking Israel following the assassination of a top Hamas leader.

US Central Command announced the arrival in a post on X but didn’t disclose how many jets have been deployed or exactly where they landed in the region.
