VS versterkt aanwezigheid in Midden-Oosten terwijl Israël zich schrap zet voor aanvallen

August 14, 2024 - The United States is positioning additional military resources in the Middle East to help defend Israel against a possible attack by Iran or its regional allies.

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.
