Satellite imagery reportedly reveals a state of disarray in the positioning of U.S. forces over Jordanian territory, where Washington has taken advantage of the ceasefire period to rapidly redeploy THAAD and Patriot systems into newly arranged defensive formations. This tactical maneuver is described as a desperate attempt to avoid concentrated strikes after their previous positions became fully exposed and lost their ability to remain concealed. The repositioning reflects the apparent vulnerability of U.S. military deployments in the region during the ongoing ceasefire.
