The U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower and its accompanying elements will join the U.S.S. Ford in the eastern Mediterranean to deter Iran from opening a second front against Israel from Lebanon using the Hezbollah terror group and its rocket arsenal, as Breitbart News reported.
The aircraft carrier strike group had moved through the Strait of Gibraltar earlier this week, putting two American carriers in the Mediterranean Sea, a rare sight in recent years, AP reports.
The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is already in the eastern Mediterranean, part of a buildup of forces as the U.S. supports Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists and their backers.
One week ago CNN reported the amphibious assault ship U.S.S. Bataan is also being moved closer to Israel.
The moves come some 14-days after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin placed additional U.S. troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the Middle East after speaking with President Joe Biden.
“I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required,” he said in a statement as reported by Breitbart News.
US military dispatches nuclear submarine to region
[IsraelTimes] The US Central Command says an Ohio-class submarine has arrived in its area of responsibility, which includes the eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman.
Ohio-class subs are both nuclear-powered and carry nuclear warheads.
The army does not say where the submarine has been deployed to, but its arrival in the region is may be part of the same strategy that has seen the US dispatch two carrier strike groups in order to deter Iran

| The second tweet (X?) was attached to the Ohio sub announcement, so we get them both here instead of in separate posts as they ought to be. Someday I will climb this latest learning curve, but not today. |
