US sends missile submarine to Middle East | LiveNOW from FOX

Israel-Hamas war: According to the Associated Press, U.S. 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 the U.S. and other allies push for Israel and Hamas to achieve a cease-fire 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. John Hannah, JINSA Senior Fellow and former national security advisor to VP Dick Cheney, joins LiveNOW from FOX to further discuss this breaking news alert.

My 6 year old son just asked me why the U.S. military announces to the world what we're doing???

People should know submarines travel with carrier strike groups. Always have, always will. They’ve been there for months.

There are at least 1 Submarine with every aircraft carrier. Usually 2 with an aircraft carrier group.
So when they say "We are sending a missile Submarine to the middle east "There are already at least 1, usually 2 with each strike group. ALWAYS.

Hamas leaders should be charged in international criminal courts for using children as human shields 😢

There's submarines all over the world. You never know a submarine is there until it's too late.

Makes sense. Israel is so far away and the southern border is so close.

미국과 UN 일본 덕분에 자유민주주의를 누리며 살아가는 조선 출신으로써(지금은 조선국적을 갖고 있지 않지만) 전 세계의 자유민주주의를 수호하는 미군들의 서비스에 감사합니다👍🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷

It's about time Iran is dealt with.

If one thing this country doesn't care about is OUR soldiers over there, considering multiple have been hurt and multiple usa citizens have lost their lives, I tell you this, if trump was in charge they'd be rethinking their decisions over there.

[walkonearthofficial]

Can you imagine the internal media of Iran right now? 😂

[johnhmielewski]

And just like that everyone in the comments is a Navy Admiral lol.

[melindaroth]

Thank you John Hannah for EXCELLENT REPORTING ❤😊

[fhuber]

We don't normally tell where the submarines will be... That defeats one of the purposes of the submarine. Hiding, so they can be more effective and have less chance of being taken out before completing their mission.

I can't agree with giving notice of the location of the strategic asset.

I read this earlier on a different site. Thought it was fake news. 😢. Pray for the families of those on this boat and their families! And pray for all involved in this dangerous situation! 😢
