U.S. deploys 12 warships in Middle East amid rising tensions : Washington Post
By Ahram Online | August 1, 2024
The United States has deployed at least 12 warships to the Middle East, a defense official told the Washington Post, amid rising tension in the region following the Israeli assassination of senior officials in Hamas and Hezbollah.
The vessels included the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and its accompanying warships, and the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, a three-ship amphibious task force that includes more than 4,000 Marines and sailors, the official told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The official added that the rising tension in the Middle East has not prompted the Pentagon to announce any additional deployments, but the US Navy has assembled at least a dozen warships nearby.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt was in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday with six U.S. destroyers. In the eastern Mediterranean were the three amphibious ships and two destroyers, according to the Washington Post.
No U.S. warships were in the Red Sea, where the U.S. military has tangled in recent days with the Houthis group in Yemen that has launched numerous attacks against commercial and military ships over the past several months.
Diplomatic efforts
Western diplomats are holding urgent discussions amid attempts to prevent full-blown war in the Middle East, the Financial Times reported.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly ordered a direct strike on Israel for the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, while the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah has vowed revenge for the assassination of its commander Fuad Shukr.

The UK SAS are operating in Lebanon and there is no telling what they could possibly be doing there except maybe providing intelligence on Hezbollah for Israeli targeting for airstrikes.
There will always be money for weapons:
