The Pentagon has ordered the deployment of more military assets to the Middle East, responding to escalating tensions with Iran. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed on Tuesday that the move aims to bolster regional stability and enhance defense capabilities.
The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group will be joined by the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group in the region. According to Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, the mission is focused on "promoting regional stability, deterring aggression, and protecting the free flow of commerce."
Additionally, the Nimitz Strike Group has begun its deployment to the Western Pacific, where it will help maintain the US’s warfighting advantage in the Indo-Pacific.
Hegseth also authorized the deployment of more squadrons and air assets to "reinforce our defensive air-support capabilities," although specific details on the aircraft being deployed have not been disclosed.
Parnell stressed that the US would take "decisive action" to defend American personnel and interests in the region, should Iran or its proxies threaten them.
The announcement follows heightened rhetoric between the US and Iran. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Sunday, threatening unprecedented airstrikes if Tehran refused to negotiate on its nuclear program. Iran responded by asserting that it would have no choice but to pursue nuclear weapons if attacked by the US or its allies.
The increased military presence also coincides with a series of US airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, further highlighting the escalating tensions in the region.
