Iran claims to have shot down US plane again, US boosts military power in Middle East

TEHRAN: Iran claimed to have shot down another US plane. It was a surveillance plane. Footage of it has also been released. However, US has not yet responded to this. Iran has previously claimed to have shot down US warplanes.

Meanwhile, the United States has once again increased its military power in the Middle East. 3,500 soldiers have arrived in the conflict-affected region in the Middle East. The US command confirmed that the state-of-the-art warship USS Tripoli has been stationed with about 2,500 soldiers on board, targeting the West Asian coast. In addition, the US command stated that the USS Boxer and naval units from San Diego will soon arrive in the conflict zone. The US command's ex-post informed that the United States has strengthened its military capabilities in the war against Iran. With this, it is almost clear that a land war will occur soon.

However, the United States says that it aims to defeat Iran without deploying ground forces and without a land war. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Yemen's Houthi rebels have launched attacks on the US and Israel, siding with Iran in the war. With this, the war that has been going on for a month may spread to more areas. The Houthis launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel yesterday. The Israeli military revealed that it had destroyed the missile. The Houthis may launch an attack on cargo ships at any moment. This will spread the tension in the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea.

Meanwhile, it is reported that the Houthis will blockade the Bab al-Mandab Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Bab al-Mandab is the fourth largest shipping lane in the world. The possibility of a Houthis attack on the Suez Canal cannot be ruled out. This will also cause great harm to the global economy.
