"Event [2] notes the deployment of US aircraft to Israel amid warnings of a 'limited Iran conflict'. The new event, involving IRGC attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, constitutes a concrete act of conflict/escalation that likely triggered or reinforced the urgency of these defensive deployments."
"Both events describe the same specific logistical action: the US deploying ten military aircraft to Israeli air bases (Ovda and Nevatim) in preparation for potential conflict with Iran. They are concurrent reports of the same event."
