#Gravitas America is moving more of its war machines into West Asia. At least 50 advanced fighter jets, including F-35s, F-22s and F-16s, are being mobilised while Iran is set to carry out military drills with Russia and China.

Will economic incentives help defuse a confrontation? Or is the region getting closer to an all-out war?
