The US will deploy additional warships and fighter jets to the Middle East to help defend Israel from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies, the Pentagon said.

Tensions remain high in the region over the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and a key commander of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Missile defence forces were placed on a state of increased readiness to deploy, the Pentagon said, adding that its commitment to defend Israel was “ironclad”.

Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khamenei has vowed “harsh punishment” against Israel for the assassination of Haniyeh.

    Looks like Netanyahu is getting what he wants. The US drags itself in another war in the Middle East. Harris will suffer for it in the elections, as she will be loosing the communities she won back after being alienated by Bidens zionist fanaticism. The US might end up doint the dirty work in Iran and Iraq, if things escalate fully. And Israel can finalize the genocide and annexation of all of Palestine, while pretending to be the victim again.
