'Sense of urgency': US accelerates military deployment to MidEast • FRANCE 24 English

The Pentagon said Sunday that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and is telling the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area. The moves come as tensions soar in the region following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut. "It has to be noted, it's pretty rare for the Pentagon, for the US, to actually publicly state submarine movements, so that in itself is pretty significant," FRANCE 24's Kethevane Gorjestani said in an analysis, adding that the US aircraft carrier being ordered to sail more quickly to the region also conveys a "sense of urgency".

USA is always in a hurry if Israel needs it.
USA is never in a hurry if others need it.

[davidschlageter]

The Pentagon spending money like water again.

I find it very strange that the Houthis blocking Red Sea shipping was treated like a secondary issue, while suddenly we have to mobilize everything to defend Israel from a crisis that they started in an effort to stave off any peace deal. Great stuff! The Navy's primary goal is the defense of global shipping. Once again our political leaders can't get it together enough to achieve primary goals because we're so overburdened with our endless "commitments"

[mr-ambr]

Americans ready to defend their owner Israel like the good boys they are 😂

I think this war is going to be very different than the previous ones.

Do you know that *the strip "G" that is inhabited by 1.5 - 1.6 million of uar-rfugees, * is *ilgally oqupyd by izreal since 57 years* according to *the intrntional law* since *izreal controls all its borders (Land+Sea+Air)!*

[nakhan]

Iran have no choice but to defend it self

[guybeingaguy]

Subs, 2 fully loaded nuclear aircraft carriers. Cruise, tomahawk, Blackhawk, Apache all sitting there completely fueled and loaded.

Surely they can’t be that stupid or suicidal.
Could they 🤷‍♀️

[upbeatmantis]

Sense of urgency? More like a thief supporting a thief.

TLV Objectives: 
Make Negotiations Impossible 
Make the Strip Inhabitable 
Get Rid of the Axis (with Our Help...)

The opening scene was lacking black widow, captain america and the incredible hulk

Israel's bird's eye watches the sky

[angelvaldez]

Why is this not officially called a war? What is everyone afraid of, more deaths, more destruction? Hold fighting groups responsible. If you have an army, use it and don't target the innocent civilians who can't defend themselves. Without a military, you don't have a country.

[SuperLeica]

The last time I heard news about USNAVY moves, Trump said they were bound for Korea, while they were wobbling around Singapore. Trust?

[manjurhasanchisti]

It's much interesting that Iran and US syncronizing attract to Israel. Whenever, Iran attract they contact US.

[spmadeinusa]

For those who own stock in Abadan (Iran's largest oil refinery) it might be a really good time to sell, unless of course the value of scrap metal skyrockets.

[frankcherry]

Wonder how many Special Tomahawks these Boats have…?

[Samayil_]

It's not much useful. These subs carry sub sonic missiles easily handled by S-400.

[alexanderdelgadomedina]

Iran has the right to defend itself, big truth but it must accept its fate after all
