Earlier, the US military announced that B-52 Stratofortress nuclear-capable strategic bombers would be deployed to the Middle East, ONA reports citing Sputnik.

US Air Force's Central Command released photos showing bombers arrived at Al Udeid US Air Base in Qatar.

However, the US Air Force did not specify where other bombers have landed; only saying that they'd landed in "southwest Asia".

Earlier, the Pentagon released a video showing four nuclear-capable B-52 bombers taking off for the Middle East.

On Sunday, National Security Adviser John Bolton announced the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region, intended to send a message to Iran.

In turn, Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC)'s spokesman Keivan Khosravi, following the deployment announcement, argued that the US move was a mere attempt at "psychological warfare".
