U.S.-Saudi arms deal shifts Middle East power balance
The Obama administration notified Congress of plans to sell up to 84 F-15 jets helicopters and other gear totaling about 60 billion dollars to Saudi Arabia. The move aims to counter Iran while reshaping Israel's posture and Gulf security as Iran tests military advances and Washington strengthens its front line network across Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel signs for 20 F-35s with an option for 75 more, signaling closer security alignment with Saudi goals amid regional tensions.
