US deploys RC-135W to Greece amid Iran tensions

The United States continues a substantial military buildup in the Middle East, with reports of active movement of American aircraft across the region. An additional RC-135W "Rivet Joint" signals intelligence aircraft has now deployed from RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom to Naval Support Activity Souda Bay in Greece. This airlift operation has been ongoing for days, signaling heightened readiness and intelligence-gathering posture amid the ongoing crisis with Iran. The deployment of this specialized spy plane enhances US capabilities to monitor electronic signals and communications in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
