I believe the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G are in Jordan so maybe the F-22A's would be headed there as well?
Why? because he's become a Trumpert? and that he's been singing the tune of Russia will winning, is winning vs. NATO/Ukraine conflict? Col.Macgregor has been one of U.S. Army's famous or infamous iconoclast especially when he wrote his book "BREAKING THE PHALANX" criticizing mother Army for not just it's behemoth size but the inability to be adaptable/flexible in that then word's changed landscape. His career pretty much became a dead end in terms of him becoming a field grade officer even after getting some assistance from U.S. Army's armor mafia in then Gen. Wesley Clark in his position as NATO SACEUR. He plucked MacGregor to be his strategist and helped plan the OPERATION ALLIED FORCE against Serbia in 1999 Kosovo War. The man had a stellar combat record in the 1st Gulf War during the battle of 73 easting where a certain fellow named H.R. MacMaster gained fame as well. While the former only managed to reach the rank of Colonel, the latter achieved a 3 star status, and then became then Trump's National Security Advisor, who's now a resident fellow/scholar of the Hudson Institute that pretty much call, advocate for conflict with China all-day, everyday, 24/7.
Unless you can provide a more solid evidence and argument to support your not thinly veiled criticism and dismissal of Doug then you ought to be more circumspect with your comments about the man.
My response to @Petrolicious88 regarding the credibility of U.S. media when it comes to fair and accurate reporting when it comes to ACTUAL NEWS THAT DEAL WITH ITS FOREIGN ADVERSARIES, REAL AND IMAGINED:

It appears the delay of the response is Iran testing out the new military hardware Russia has given them. Last few nights Iran has been doing military exercises. Reports are Iran now has the S-400. This makes Iran’s already deadly and redundant air defense even deadlier. This complicates any Israeli counter strike against Iran. I wonder if Russia will send Iran some Su-35. I would assume that after Ukraine getting the F-16s Russia would return the favor giving Iran some fighter jets. Another interesting thing is there is reports of Russian military cargo landing in Syria. Iran has some IRGC/Basij units in Syria that’s attached with their Shia foreign militias brigades that have been there since the start of the civil war. Their job is to strike the Golan Heights. I’m not saying there will be a ground operation in the response but if there is a full scale regional war they will be the ones that will swarm the area.
And lastly I find it funny how US intelligence keeps getting it wrong. Last week it was Iran will strike in 72 hours. Then it was Iran will strike in the weekend. To Iran will strike after the OIC meeting. Yesterday it was Iran will not strike and has cold feet, to now they admit they have no idea when Iran will strike. Iran and the axis is playing this right. Keeps the US and Israel on the edge. Israel is in full panic mode. The US is bringing assets to the region but I doubt it will do any good. They admitted that the operation in April was very hard to do and doubt they could do it again successfully if it’s a larger and wider operation that lasts days.

Iran should play the "Touch ya, not touching" game for at least a month, keep US fighters and CBG burning fuel for no reason
By next week they might say Iran just took another one in the ass and decided to stand down and just let proxies do some symbolic attacks.
They admitted it, but could just be lying. Don't believe a word they said. Could just be saying that to bait the Iranians. Who knows.
Hyping the S-400 as a silver bullet is cringe imo. Even a certain dear departed SME of this forum rated the HQ-9B as significantly better in just about every way. Main strength is its kinematic performance but that's hardly the most important. I'd expect the PLA to run circles around Indian S-400s in a war, and while Israel might not be able to do quite the same (lacking much of the supporting aircraft/system etc) it's probably still gonna be less useful than you expect. Plus I don't see how Iran can bring them up to a meaningful operational capability in their IADS if they just received the delivery unless they plan to wait weeks to months to retaliate.
Off topic. But if Ukrainian IADS was any indication, it was still a respectable one despite Russians having superior air force. A fight between India and China would be the same, both air forces will have very limited role until the said air defense system is eliminated. By extension, Iran vs Israel.
