The U.S. Navy has announced that the USS Georgia, one of its four Ohio-class guided-missile submarines (SSGNs), has been deployed to the Middle East. This move comes amid growing concerns that Iran and its proxies may retaliate following Israel’s assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. At the same time, the U.S. Navy is speeding up the deployment of the supercarrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the region, with plans to have two carrier strike groups present there soon.
The U.S. Department of Defense said in a statement., “Secretary Austin reiterated the United States’ commitment to take every possible step to defend Israel and noted the strengthening of U.S. military force posture and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of escalating regional tensions,”
This statement came after a conversation between U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. During the call, Gallant reportedly informed Austin that Iran was preparing for a large-scale military attack on Israel within the coming days.
