This is not true and there is zero evidence of this.

The only movement that have taken place so far to the Middle East is an F-15E Strike Eagle rotation.

With movements east, the US has forward deployed elements of 160th SOAR (1 MH-47G and 5 MH-60M, the same helicopter unit that captured Maduro from Venezuela) to the United Kingdom. They have not moved further east.

There is however, pre positioning for a future movement east that could take place. But nothing massive, just a few mid air refueling tankers.

Source, I'm the person on the news megathread that usually tracks all this. I haven't seen anything other than what I've mentioned above.
