Truce with Iran ends - US begins preparing forces

The US has resumed flights of tanker aircraft near the Strait of Hormuz, which may indicate preparations for strikes on Iran. This coincides with the approaching end of the 60-day truce. Since the start of the conflict, the US has lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones, about a quarter of its fleet. The aircraft carrier group 'George Washington' is heading towards Iran. Trump claimed full control over the strait, but data does not confirm this.

The US armed forces have resumed flights of tanker aircraft in the area of the Strait of Hormuz, which may indicate preparations for resuming strikes on Iran. This comes as the 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran approaches its end. According to the publication, since the start of the conflict, American forces have lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones, which is about a quarter of their fleet before hostilities began. These UAVs were actively used in the strait area, which has become a key flashpoint. Due to their low speed and low flight altitude, they are vulnerable to Iranian air defenses and attacks by Tehran-backed groups in Yemen and Iraq. Earlier, it was reported that an aircraft carrier strike group led by the carrier 'George Washington' is heading towards Iran. US President Donald Trump stated that American forces have established full control over the strait, but available information does not confirm this assessment.
