In order to protect Israel from retaliation for the "unhelpful" assassinations they conducted in Iran and Lebanon, the US is gathering two aircraft carriers, dozens of fighter jets and attack planes, a bunch of Navy destroyers and cruisers, and 4,500 Marines and sailors in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. From New York Times, "U.S. to Send More Combat Aircraft and Warships to Middle East, Officials Say": Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III on Friday ordered additional combat aircraft and missile-shooting warships to the Middle East in response to threats from Iran and its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen to attack Israel in the coming days to avenge the death of Ismail Haniyeh, the Pentagon said. To maintain the presence of an aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships in the region, Mr. Austin also directed the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, now in the eastern Pacific, to relieve the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt in the next couple of weeks when it is scheduled to return home. [...] Ms. Singh, in a news conference earlier on Friday, had raised the possibility that the United States could also send additional troops to operate whatever additional capabilities the Pentagon sends to the region. [...] [...] In addition to some 80 land-based combat aircraft, the Pentagon has already deployed more than a dozen warships in the region. The aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, equipped with about 40 F/A-18 Super Hornet and F-35 attack planes, is now steaming near the Arabian Gulf, while the U.S.S. Wasp amphibious ready group, with 30 airplanes and helicopters as well as 4,500 Marines and sailors, is operating in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.The White House said on Wednesday that Israel's assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Hezbollah senior military commander Fuad Shukr in Lebanon were not helpful, as The Hill reported: "These reports over the last 24, 48 hours certainly don't help with the temperature going down," John Kirby, the White House National Security Council communications adviser, told reporters. "We're obviously concerned about escalation."Israel is dragging America into a war with Iran and traitors in our Congress like Sen. Lindsey Graham have already introduced bills to kick off the war.
