Increase of Military Aircraft at Saudi Airbase
February 27, 2026
Satellite images indicate an increase in military aircraft at a Saudi airbase used by the US. This rise, including KC-135 Stratotankers and E-3 Sentry planes, comes amid escalating tensions with Iran. Saudi Arabia has assured that it will not allow its territory to be used for attacks against Iran. The Omani foreign minister mentioned progress in US-Iran negotiations, but there are no clear signs of a ceasefire. The US military typically does not comment on its troop movements.
