The story · English

The U.S. State Department announced on Thursday its approval of a potential sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, a deal valued at approximately $24 billion. This significant arms sale is now subject to approval by the U.S. Congress.

The State Department emphasized that the transaction would not alter the balance of power in the Middle East, a statement seemingly directed at Israel. The F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, considered one of the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. Saudi Arabia's acquisition of such advanced weaponry is a notable development in regional security dynamics.

Details regarding the specific configurations of the jets and the timeline for a potential sale were not immediately available. The U.S. government's decision reflects ongoing strategic considerations in the region and its relationship with key partners.
