The Pentagon announced on Friday that the United States will be deploying a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and will maintain an aircraft carrier in the region. This decision comes as tensions rise with Iran and its proxies, and aims to bolster American military presence in the area. The increased military presence is intended to serve two key purposes: protecting Israel from potential attacks by Iran and its allies, and ensuring the safety of American troops stationed in the region. The move highlights the ongoing concerns regarding Iran’s activities in the Middle East, and underscores the US commitment to the security of its allies and its own forces in the region.
