الولايات المتحدة تعزز قواتها العسكرية في الشرق الأوسط

August 14, 2024 - ترسل الولايات المتحدة المزيد من السفن الحربية والطائرات المقاتلة إلى منطقة الشرق الأوسط للمساعدة في الدفاع عن الكيان الإسرائيلي من الهجمات المحتملة من قبل إيران ووكلائها.

The moves, announced by the Defence Department on Sunday, come as the U.S. and other allies push for Israel and Hamas to achieve a ceasefire agreement that could help calm soaring tensions in the region following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.

Officials have been on the lookout for retaliatory strikes by both Iran and Hezbollah for the killings, and the U.S. has been beefing up its presence in the region, according to AP.
