A major military buildup is unfolding across the Persian Gulf as U.S. and Iranian forces increase their visible presence in one of the world's most sensitive regions. Flight tracking data shows multiple KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling tankers operating near the Strait of Hormuz, alongside a P-8A Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft. Analysts say the concentration of tankers could support sustained air operations if required. Meanwhile, satellite imagery reportedly shows more than 100 IRGC Navy speedboats maneuvering near Qeshm Island. The developments come as indirect diplomatic contacts continue, raising questions about whether these moves are intended to deter conflict or prepare for escalation.
