The US is boosting its military presence in Spain, Greece and Cyprus, as US President Donald Trump is considering participation in attacks on Iran.
According to British midfielder Sky News, the United States may ask Britain to allow US refueling aircraft in Cyprus.
US B-52 bombers and fighter aircraft have already been developed at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, which belongs to Britain, as part of a mass reinforcement of US military presence in the region.
However, so far, there seems to be no discussions to promote the state-of-the-art US B-2 Stealth bombers in Diego Garcia. These aircraft can carry a bunker-busters, capable of hitting the Iranian nuclear installation of Fordo, which is deeply made in a mountain.
According to applicable rules, the US is needing Britain’s approval to use the Diego Garcia base for military operations.
It is not clear whether this request has been officially submitted, nor what would be the UK response.
At the same time, the British media reports that the United States Armed Forces have already sent refueling aircraft – used to refuel fighters in flight to Spain and Greece, and may also request the use of the British RAF base in Akrotiri.
He also says that an American aircraft carrier is expected to sail in the area within the next five to seven days, while three degrees of fighter aircraft have already been developed.
This huge gathering of military forces has been developed for defense purposes to prevent Iran from attacking US interests. However, as the report points out, the same force could at any time be turned into aggressive.
