00:23In a major development that's sending shockwaves through the region,
00:28new satellite imagery has revealed a massive surge in U.S. military presence
00:33at the Muawafik-Selti Air Base in central Jordan.
00:37More than 60 attack aircraft, including cutting-edge F-35 stealth fighters,
00:43are now stationed at this key base, triple the usual number of jets there.
00:47The build-up has many wondering,
00:50is the U.S. preparing to strike Iran from Jordan in just hours?
00:54The imagery, captured just days ago, shows rows of fighter jets and helicopters lining the tarmac,
01:01with some aircraft hidden under shelters, suggesting even more may be present.
01:05But that's not all.
01:06Over the past week, at least 68 cargo planes have landed at Muawafik-Selti,
01:11unloading critical supplies like munitions, maintenance crews, and new air defense systems.
01:17This rapid logistical flow is an unmistakable sign that preparations for something big are underway.
01:23These developments come at a time when President Trump is reportedly considering a limited military strike
01:29to push Iran into a deal over its nuclear program.
01:32With tensions escalating and diplomatic talks faltering,
01:36the U.S. military's show of force in Jordan has raised fears that action could be imminent.
01:41The presence of advanced aircraft like the F-35s, combined with drones and helicopters,
01:46drastically enhances the U.S. military's strike and surveillance capabilities.
01:50What's more, new air defense systems have been installed to protect against incoming Iranian missiles,
01:55signaling that the U.S. is bracing for a high-threat environment.
01:59Jordanian officials have confirmed that these forces are deployed as part of a defense agreement with the U.S.,
02:04but as the countdown to a potential military strike continues, the question on everyone's mind is,
02:09could the U.S. be preparing to launch an attack on Iran from Jordan in a matter of hours?
02:14Meanwhile, USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier,
02:18has entered the Mediterranean Sea, according to maritime tracking data.
02:22U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the carrier strike group to the Middle East last week,
02:26as he considers whether to take possible military action against Iran.
02:30Maritime tracking websites show that the USS Mahan Arleigh Burke-class destroyer,
02:34part of the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, is now crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.
02:39It is expected to take the aircraft carrier several more days to reach the Middle East
02:43and be poised to operate against Iran.
02:46With 60-plus jets, dozens of cargo planes, warships, and advanced weaponry now in place,
02:51the Middle East is on the edge of a major escalation.
