Imagery of combat aircraft and support planes at bases in the region comes amid reports that Washington appears ready to strike Tehran
Images posted on social media on Thursday by Chinese commercial satellite analysis company MizarVision show the latest American deployments at bases in Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
The images from Jordan show 18 F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters and six EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft on the tarmac of the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. The post did not say when or by which satellites the images were taken.
Iran has insisted the programme is peaceful and has denied claims that it is developing nuclear weapons.
