The Times of Israel reported that two U.S. officials told Reuters on 16 June 2025 that the U.S. military has mobilized more than 31 tankers to Europe, while the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is heading to the Middle East. These deployments highlight that the United States is significantly strengthening its air power in response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

Flight tracking website AirNav systems said that more than 31 U.S. Air Force tankers flew east from the United States on the 15th, mainly KC-135 and KC-46, and have now arrived at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, as well as airports in the United Kingdom, Estonia and Greece.

Eric Schouten of Dyami Security Intelligence in the Netherlands said: "The sudden deployment of more than 24 U.S. Air Force tankers to the east is not an ordinary move. This is a clear signal of strategic preparation."

Schouten mentioned that whether it is to support Israel, prepare for long-range operations or logistical supplies, this shows that the United States is strengthening its posture to prevent the situation in Iran from further escalating.

In addition to air power, the U.S. military's maritime deployment has also heated up. According to Marine Traffic ship tracking, the aircraft carrier Nimitz left the South China Sea on the morning of the 16th and turned west. The port reception originally scheduled to be held in Danang, Vietnam on 20 June 2025 has also been cancelled.

The Nimitz can carry 5,000 personnel and more than 60 aircraft, including fighter jets.

According to the U.S. Pacific Fleet Command, the Nimitz strike group just completed its maritime security mission in the South China Sea last week, which was a routine patrol operation, but now it is clearly turning to the Middle East, echoing the development of the situation between Israel and Iran.

So far, the United States has been cautious about the situation and has only assisted Israel in intercepting missiles.
