The United States is sending more warships and warplanes to the Israeli region, fearing that Iran and its allies could attack the country. Tensions have been rising in the Middle East since Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Fouad Saqr, a senior leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, in an airstrike.
The Pentagon said nothing should deter America from defending Israel — especially after Iran's leader,
Ali Khamenei vowed revenge on the Jewish state after three days of mourning.
In addition to the fact that anti-missile systems are constantly scanning the skies, the new US warplanes allow Israel and its allies to respond more quickly to potential aggression from Islamic states. Warships arriving in the region are also capable of intercepting incoming missiles.
This is his next step in strengthening American positions in Israel. They have been supporting Israel continuously since April 13, when Iran attacked the country with missiles and drones, and in recent months, about 300 such buildings have been destroyed.
Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Difficult days lie ahead… We have heard threats from all sides, but we are prepared for anything.”
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said the country's message was clear:
I think we are very clear that we do not want to see any further escalation of tensions, and we believe that there is a way out through a ceasefire agreement.
In the following days, an Israeli delegation will head to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to discuss a prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in Gaza during indirect negotiations. BBC.
