The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation reported on the evening of the 24th that 12 US military F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighters took off from the UK that day. Except for one aircraft that returned to base due to technical problems, the remaining 11 planes arrived at an air base in southern Israel later that evening. The report said that such fighters can perform multiple tasks, including penetrating enemy airspace, destroying air defense systems, and radar. This move by the United States may be in preparation for Israel's response to Iranian missile attacks. Israeli media reported on the 23rd that the Israeli military and the US military are "maintaining close coordination" in preparation for the breakdown of negotiations between the United States and Iran.
