US military says forces remain active throughout region
The US military's Central Command (Centcom) has said American forces remain deployed across the Middle East, stating that US personnel continue to operate "in the skies, on land, and at sea" throughout the region.
In a social media post, Centcom shared a photograph of two warplanes conducting what it described as a routine patrol.
Earlier, the command also released images showing US service members aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea.
The statement comes as diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran continue, with negotiations in Switzerland focused on implementing the recently agreed memorandum of understanding.
