i fully expect a few of them to have ‘technical malfunctions’ and somehow end up landing, fully intact, on an iranian runway
the chinese won’t need them.. we shipped them the plans 2 years ago and they’ve already started rolling out fighters
but don’t worry... 35% of our aircraft are drones... /sarc
oh, sure... the drones can be co-opted by the chinese (either that or we gave them the drones... which is better??)

No, the Raptors are there to prevent the Israelis from attacking Iran! That was my thought as well. Are there AWACS and tankers deployed with them? Otherwise, that's a long way south from where the Israelis would be flying, and where the main targets are as well.

Strategically, why deploy the F-22s?
The Iranians have no Air Threat to speak of.

He might as well just give Iran and Russia a fully intact plane and be done with it.

We had 1/4 million troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Add in sea power In the straits and that is enough to make a dictator STB.
So what does the boy king do?

He is clearing out all the troops. Maybe he decided pinpoint treatment won’t work for the cancer of Islam and it needs a radiation treatment. One can hope.

Probably the more correct take on this. But they could be there for additional reasons as well.

Do you really think that would slow Hussein and his lefty narcissistic gang down?
Lefties scare the public that conservatives are dangerous, but the left are the ones who get us in uncontrolled warfare.

We can easily put down anything the Iranians have with F-15s, F-18s, and F-16s. SEAD perhaps? Lead the way in for the heavies, or fighter bombers. But the heavies could come from Diego

He should be Deploying them to Bomb the Missile sites in Venezuela and Cuba that Iran Is Building there to target The east Coast of the United States

They do have advanced Ground to Air systems (Tor-M2s and maybe S300s) from Russia ... as the poster said - Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD). This role is secondary for a F-22, but perhaps, in this case, necessary for a primary role.
