Foreign: According to RT, multiple media outlets have reported, citing anonymous officials, that the United States is concerned that the Iranian military is increasingly effective at penetrating its air defenses in the Middle East.
This comes on the heels of a missile and drone attack on a military base in Jordan on Friday that left two US service members dead and another missing, according to the Pentagon.
In an article on Saturday, the New York Times cited its sources as saying that Iran’s latest retaliatory strike was a sign that Iranian forces not only have a large stockpile of missiles but are also skilled at evading US air defenses.
The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous officials, similarly reported that the Iranian military had adapted to the US defenses by firing missiles that travel at the fastest speeds.
According to the same NYT, in the US-Israeli military campaign against the Islamic Republic, which began in late February, the Pentagon has moved some of its troops from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar to Jordan and Israel. Since the two countries are far from Iranian territory, they are considered safe by US military leaders.
