On the 24th local time, CCTV News learned that earlier that day, 12 U.S. Air Force F-22 fighters took off from the UK heading to Israel. Except for one that returned due to technical issues, the remaining 11 fighters arrived in Israel and were deployed at an air force base in southern Israel.

It is understood that these types of fighters can perform a variety of missions, including penetrating enemy airspace, destroying air defense systems, and radar. This move by the United States may be to prepare Israel for potential Iranian missile attacks.

According to Israeli sources on the 23rd, the Israeli military and U.S. forces are “maintaining close coordination” in preparation for the breakdown of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media on the 23rd, saying he “would prefer to reach an agreement with Iran,” but if no agreement is reached, it would be “a very bad day for Iran.” According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency on the 24th, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ravanji stated that Iran is ready to reach an agreement with the U.S. as soon as possible.
