President Trump is strengthening his military force by redeploying B-1 strategic bombers and deploying additional F-16 and F-35 fighter jets to the Middle East amid escalating military tensions with Iran. This is interpreted as a measure following President Trump's warning that "Iran will pay several times the price whenever it kills US troops" after the recent attack on a US military base in Jordan and the death of US troops in Iraq. The United States is also pushing for an increase in troops in response to provocative acts by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. However, the possibility of a transition to ground warfare is currently considered low.
