US EditionNo imminent attack on Iran as Washington reportedly deploys additional air defenses
The Pentagon is reinforcing air defenses with Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense systems to deter Iran and protect U.S. and regional allies amid escalating tensions.
- On Sunday, the Pentagon is deploying additional air defenses to CENTCOM areas, stating a U.S. strike on Iran is not expected in the immediate future.
- U.S. officials said the deployments reflect a dual-track approach combining military pressure and diplomacy to deter Iran without rushing into conflict, while Gulf states accelerate defensive preparations.
- At American bases in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, forces are receiving equipment flown in on transport planes while U.S. naval destroyers maintain the region’s air-defense layer.
- Limited strikes remain possible if ordered by President Donald Trump, but a broader attack would demand far more defensive coverage as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned any strike would spark a regional war.
- Amid ongoing diplomacy, Gulf states are strengthening missile defenses, and Saudi Arabia has recently received several THAAD batteries it purchased.
