Trump boasts America's air power as US launches fresh strikes on Iran
As the United States continued its military strikes against Iranian targets, President Donald Trump turned to social media to showcase some of America's most advanced military aircraft.
The posts featured the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter, the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, the B-1B Lancer strategic bomber and the Boeing VC-25B presidential aircraft escorted by F-22s.
The images are shared at a time when the United States launched a fresh round of military strikes against Iran on Sunday , with US Central Command saying the operation is intended to further degrade Tehran's ability to target civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The operations specifically targeted Iranian military air-defence systems, coastal radar infrastructure, missile and drone launch sites, and small tactical vessels. In a notable escalation of tactical deployment, US forces utilised a multi-domain assault force comprising fighter aircraft, naval combatants, and, for the first time, both one-way attack aerial drones and one-way attack sea drones.
The first aircraft featured in Trump's posts was the F-22 Raptor, the US Air Force's premier fifth-generation stealth fighter and one of the world's most advanced air superiority aircraft. Built by Lockheed Martin, the F-22 is designed to dominate contested airspace by detecting and engaging enemy aircraft before they become a threat.
Equipped with stealth technology, advanced sensors and supercruise capability, it plays a key role in securing the skies for other combat aircraft and is widely regarded as a symbol of American air dominance.
