U.S. military aircraft were seen positioned at Lajes Air Base in Portugal’s Azores as President Donald Trump set a deadline for Iran amid escalating tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program. The deployment comes as Washington strengthens its regional military posture, signaling that military options remain under consideration if diplomatic efforts fail. Lajes Air Base has long served as a strategic transatlantic hub for U.S. operations, providing logistical and operational support between North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The increased presence of U.S. aircraft follows renewed warnings from the White House regarding Iran’s nuclear activities. Officials have reiterated that while diplomacy remains the preferred path, all options remain on the table.
