For years, the top of the American administration has been emphasizing that the US military attention is directed towards China and that other fronts, which until now have been at the heart of American attention, such as the Middle East, have been abandoned in favor of concentrating on the growing Chinese enemy.
Already today, the Chinese navy is considered the most powerful navy in the world while taking the lead from the American navy deployed all over the world.
A combination of withdrawing tactical fighter squadrons, armed with AP-15 and AP-16 aircraft, and withdrawing many weapons and ammunition systems from their warehouses in the Middle East, including from Israel, greatly weakens the American response capacity in the event that it wants to act against Iran if it tries to break through to the nuclear one day.
The news website specializing in military issues - Arabich Defense reports that "in order to provide more front-line fighter jets for the war against China in the Western Pacific and Russia, the United States Army has ordered the deployment of A-10 Warthog attack aircraft to the Middle East and the withdrawal of advanced fighter jets deployed there.
The Central Command of the US Army has already defined the correct minimum tactical air power to deal with the problems of the Middle East, but the administration ignores this and knowingly violates it.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the A-10s, which are expected to be deployed in the Middle East by April, are part of a broader plan to deploy "modest" land and sea forces under the central command of the US military in the region.
In light of the above, it seems that the US does not at all intend to face a situation of military conflict with Iran and that all statements by senior officials are nothing more than a smoke screen for other intentions.
