US Deploys Submarine, Carrier to Middle East as Israel Faces Iran, Hezbollah Attacks
Aug 12, 2024, 09:44 AM
The United States is deploying significant military assets to the Middle East amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The Pentagon has announced the acceleration of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group's arrival in the region, alongside the deployment of the USS Georgia, a guided missile submarine armed with 150 Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles. This move comes as Israel braces for potential attacks from Iran and Hezbollah, following intelligence reports suggesting an imminent large-scale attack. Hezbollah has launched attacks in northern Israel, and Israel is heavily bombarding Gaza. The deployment aims to bolster U.S. military presence and support Israel in light of these threats.
