Amid escalating operations against drug cartels, the U.S. has ordered 10 F-35 fighter jets to be deployed to an airfield in Puerto Rico, signaling heightened military readiness in the region. This deployment follows a U.S. strike on a suspected cartel boat and overflights by Venezuelan jets, further escalating regional tensions. The aircraft are expected to support intelligence and interdiction missions targeting drug trafficking networks. U.S. officials frame this escalation as a necessary step to curb cartel activity, though critics warn the move may provoke broader geopolitical backlash. The intervention marks a marked intensification of U.S. military involvement in the Caribbean theater.
