A Huge Convoy of U.S. Air Force C-17s Crosses the Atlantic and Heads to Iran

A huge convoy of U.S. Air Force C-17 transport planes is crossing the Atlantic and heading towards the Middle East. The second wave is already over Europe, heading towards the eastern Mediterranean. The C-17s are transporting troops, heavy equipment, and armored vehicles. This is the largest visible troop movement by air since the beginning of the war, media reports citing data from the Flightradar service. The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is an American military transport aircraft that was officially put into service in January 1995. It was supplied to the U.S. Air Force by McDonnell Douglas. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump made a statement on the social network Truth Social, saying that Iran has 48 hours to accept U.S. conditions for resolving the conflict in the Middle East, after which Washington will "bring hell" to Tehran. "Time is up — 48 hours until real hell breaks loose on them. Thank God!" the politician stated. Trump commented on his own 10-day ultimatum to Iran to reach an agreement to resolve the conflict with the U.S. or to unblock the Strait of Hormuz and announced a review of the terms. However, the head of the White House did not provide additional explanations about what exactly he plans to do.
