The U.S. Pentagon announced today that the United States will send additional fighter jets of the "F-35" and "F-16" models, along with a warship, to the Middle East. This move aims to monitor the key waterways in the region following the detention or harassment of commercial shipping vessels by Iran in recent months. U.S. Defense Department spokesperson Sabrina Singh stated, "The Pentagon is enhancing our presence and capability to monitor the (Strait of Hormuz) and the surrounding waters." It remains unclear where the additional fighter jets will be stationed and how long they will remain in the region.
