The threat of an imminent US attack on Iran has abated… for the moment at least. Donald Trump said that there will be at least one more round of talks between the US and Iran before a new attack would be launched. Iran is willing to do a deal that will guarantee it will not build a nuclear weapon and will likely make some concessions on the enrichment of uranium.

If Trump insists on Iran destroying its ballistic missiles and terminating support for the Palestinians and Shia in West Asia, there will be a war.

The US Air Force (USAF) typically assigns 24 F-35A Lightning II aircraft to a standard operational fighter squadron. Squadrons are generally organized into six flights of four aircraft each, allowing for efficient maintenance, training, and deployment rotations. The US air force has between 20 and 25 active squadrons.............more...............
