US sending more fighter jets and warships to Mideast amid threats from Iran-led axis

The US will move a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and maintain an aircraft carrier in the region, the Pentagon said Friday, beefing up the American military presence to help defend Israel from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies and safeguard US troops.

The shifts make good on a promise President Joe Biden made to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a call Thursday, Biden discussed new US military deployments to protect against possible attacks from ballistic missiles and drones, according to the White House. In April, US forces intercepted dozens of missiles and drones fired by Iran against Israel and helped down nearly all of them.
