flag Saudi Arabia seeks to buy 48 F-35 jets, advancing a major U.S. arms deal amid diplomatic and human rights scrutiny.

flag Saudi Arabia’s request to buy up to 48 F-35 fighter jets has passed a key Pentagon review, advancing a potential multibillion-dollar deal under the Trump administration. flag The sale, which requires final approval from the Cabinet, President Trump, and Congress, could mark a major shift in U.S. Middle East policy. flag The F-35, currently only operated by Israel in the region, is central to Saudi Arabia’s military modernization and efforts to counter Iran. flag The move follows years of interest and recent diplomatic efforts, though human rights concerns, including the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, may influence congressional support.
