A-10 Attack Planes Deployed to Middle East to Prevent Escalation

American A-10 "Warthog" attack planes have been deployed to the Middle East as part of a larger effort by the Pentagon to deter a wider regional conflict between Israel and Hamas. The deployment aims to discourage Iran and other militant groups from escalating violence. More advanced military aircraft are expected to join the A-10s. The US is committed to supporting Israel's defense and has taken steps to bolster its presence in the region. The Pentagon has not disclosed the number of A-10s deployed or other specific air deployments.
