U.S. sends warplanes, carrier to Middle East as Israel-Iran c.onflict escalates
The Pentagon has repositioned warplanes and an aircraft carrier to the Middle East in response to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
However, U.S. officials stress that the moves are defensive, not part of Israel’s ongoing air offensive.
A senior Defense official explained that the deployment is aimed at protecting the roughly 40,000 American troops stationed in the region, as Washington closely monitors the c.onflict without directly engaging.
