Responsible Statecraft: Tracking the US military build-up today in the Middle East
An up-to-date accounting of the Pentagon’s response to the Israel-Gaza conflict so far.
The U.S. has significantly increased its military presence in the Middle East in the nearly three weeks after Hamas launched attacks against Israel and took hundreds of hostages on Oct. 7. Among other things, the Pentagon has deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups as well as a range of fighter aircraft to the region.
The official reason for the new deployments is to deter Hamas’s allies, including Iran and Hezbollah, from launching attacks against Israel and sparking a wider regional war. That logic will be put to the test in the coming days if Israel follows through on its planned ground invasion of Gaza, which is sure to face sharp condemnation from throughout the Middle East.

WNU Editor: 50+ warships and submarines and counting. This is a massive deployment that is far more than what is needed as a deterrent.

"Breaking News -Big statement by America's senior leader Hillary Clinton - Ceasefire is not possible because during this time Hamas will rebuild its arms supply to attack again."
So Big Nutt is right. So what. She has been wrong so often and been so illegal it does not matter.
anon: Israel has said it was not going to have a ceasefire since they were out to clear out Hamas. Many in non-involved nations want a cease-fire for humanitarian reasons but one answer to this? Did people call for a cease-fire when the US firebombed Tokyo and other enemy cities during WWII?
Effing idiots they going to get us into ww3
WW3 is good.
Reminds me of the first Gulf War. All that's missing is the Battleships.
WW3 will go nuclear, so why are you sending the young men away?
the draft.
it may go nuke , it may not. and if it does, it may not be for a while, safest bet.......get out while you still can
Too much for deterrence? Who are they trying to deter?
Way too much for Russian navy. They have a minuscule fleet.
Turkey? Probably about right given the size of their Airforce.
I blame Bob Feller.
