US deploys fighter jets in Gulf keeping Iran in view

The US has deployed 

F-22 stealth fighters

to Qatar for the first time, its military said on Friday, adding to a buildup of US forces in the Gulf amid tensions with Iran.

 The Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighters have been deployed "to defend American forces and interests," the US Air Forces Central Military Command said in a statement that did not specify how many of the hi-tech planes had been sent.

A photo handout showed five of the jets flying above the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

So all this will further lead to rise in tensions in Gulf and oil crisis is on cards .
