United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently ordered the deployment of a guided missile submarine and an aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East.
This move comes at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran continue to mount.
The announcement came following a phone conversation between Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on August 11.
Austin stressed the Biden regime’s “commitment to take every possible step to defend Israel and noted the strengthening of US military force posture and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of escalating regional tensions,” Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder recounted on August 11 in a readout of the phone call between the American and Israeli defense functionaries.
