Khaberni - An American reconnaissance aircraft "Boeing P-8A Poseidon" took off for the second time in days from Bahrain and flew over the Strait of Hormuz, coinciding with the takeoff of another American aircraft from the Emirates and its flight over the Gulf of Oman.
The agency "Novosti", based on aviation data, noted yesterday Wednesday, the presence of the anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft "Boeing P-8A Poseidon," along with a remotely piloted reconnaissance aircraft model "MQ-4C Triton" produced by "Northrop Grumman," near the Iranian borders.
According to the flight path, the "Poseidon" took off from Bahrain and continued its flight over the Strait of Hormuz, while the drone aircraft took off from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and flew over the Gulf of Oman.
This development comes amid tense relations between the two countries; President Donald Trump announced in late January the deployment of a stronger naval formation off the Iranian coast compared to those previously sent to the Venezuelan coast.
Trump mentioned that the Iranian authorities are keen to reach an agreement regarding their nuclear program, and that they alone know if there is a deadline for that.
According to a report by the "New York Times," Washington is expecting Tehran to take further steps to abandon the project, including a complete halt to uranium enrichment and restrictions on ballistic missile production.
On its part, the Iranian authorities called for resuming dialogue on the nuclear file on the basis of equality and mutual respect. The same newspaper pointed out that the United States might resort, in case negotiations fail, to striking nuclear and missile facilities in Iran, or carrying out operations to undermine the Iranian leadership, and even ground raids inside Iranian territory. However, sources from the newspaper clarified that Trump has not yet issued his final approval for any of these options.
Tehran confirmed its readiness to respond to any attack attempt by the United States, even if limited, noting that the range of its missiles is sufficient to reach American bases in the region.
