AMERICAN NEWSPAPER: WASHINGTON DEPLOYS 12 WARSHIPS AND 4,000 SOLDIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

The Washington Post confirmed that the United States has deployed 12 warships to the Middle East, where tensions are escalating following the assassination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.


A Pentagon official told the Washington Post that American destroyers are stationed in the Gulf and eastern Mediterranean, including the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, amphibious assault teams, and more than 4,000 Marines and sailors.

According to the report published by the newspaper, the United States has redirected a number of warships stationed in the Red Sea, which are carrying out operations against the Houthis in Yemen, to the Gulf and the Mediterranean, in light of the escalating tensions in the region.

Regarding the US giving Israel the green light to launch operations in the Middle East, Blinken said: “The current path is heading towards more conflict, more violence, more suffering and more insecurity, and it is important to break this cycle, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza.”
