I've Been Thinking:

The US has deployed a set of F-22's, also known as Raptors, in the United Arab Emirates, the UAE. The report comes via the Iranian Defense Minister, Ahmad Vahidi.

Vahidi is quoted in the Iranian press calling the deployment harmful to the region and part of a psychological war. The planes, according to the report, are based in Al Dafra Air Base.

While we may find out many details from the Iranians, all the information we receive must be carefully evaluated. There is no reason, however, to assume that this piece of information is incorrect.

The F-22 Raptor is a stealth superfighter. It cannot be detected by radar. It is illegal to sell these planes to anyone - even to the closest allies of the United States.

The F-22 is one of the US's secret weapon. Putting a group of these planes in the UAE at Al Dafra puts them 200 miles from Iran. That means that the United States is literally a few hundred seconds away from striking at the their target.

This is what is called a major game changer. Now Iran must assume that the United States has the element of surprise - until now, Iran never believed that the United States could surprise them.
