U.S. Military May Have Moved Black Hawk Helicopters to Guard Against Iran

Recent footage showed two Black Hawk helicopters being loaded onto trailers and driven away near a U.S. military base in Jordan. According to Sina Finance, some analysts said the move may have been taken to prevent an Iranian counterattack, while others said the helicopters may already have been unable to fly because the U.S. base in Jordan had previously been struck by Iran. On the evening of August 30 local time, the U.S. military attacked Iran's Larak Island in southern Iran. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps then struck a U.S. military base in Jordan. U.S. President Donald Trump said on August 31 that air defenses intercepted missiles Iran fired at U.S. targets in Jordan, with only one missile not intercepted.
