JAKARTA - The United States (US) sent more fighter jets and warships to the Middle East before the possibility of Iran's retaliation against Israel.
As reported by ABC News, the Pentagon will send an additional combat squadron and more warships to the Middle East to help defend Israel if Iran reacts militarily to the killing of Tehran's main Hamas political leader.
The United States will also maintain the presence of carriers in the Middle East when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin orders USS Abraham Lincoln to replace USS Theodore Roosevelt, who is stationed in the short term in the Middle East.
The deployment follows President Joe Biden's commitment to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday about a new US defensive military deployment to the region.
