U.S. troops stationed across the Middle East are on the lookout for Iran's regional network of allied militias potentially opening new fronts in the most serious flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian violence in decades.
"We are monitoring across the region for any indicators or warnings that these groups would consider piling on or entering this conflict in a way that escalates it," a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) told Newsweek.
This is why, according to the spokesperson, "we adjusted our posture."
One day after the surprise land, air and sea attack led by the Palestinian Hamas movement against Israel on Saturday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced new military moves designed "to bolster regional deterrence efforts." This included the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean and boosting supplies of equipment and resources to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
