The United States increased its military forces in the Middle East as it braced for increased Iranian proxy attacks against American targets as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu worked to avoid a two-front war with Tehran-backed terror groups.
“We are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people,” Blinken told CBS on Sunday. “We’re taking every measure to make sure that we can defend them and, if necessary, respond decisively.
US Senator Lindsey Graham warned Iran “that if this war grows, it's coming to your backyard,” during a Tel Aviv press conference.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said late Saturday that Washington would send more military assets to the Middle East both in support of Israel and to strengthen the U.S. defense posture in the region.
“I redirected the movement of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the Central Command area of responsibility,” Austin said.
“This carrier strike group is in addition to the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea,” he added.
A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and extra Patriot air defense missile system battalions will be sent to the region and more troops put on standby, he said. There are already some 2,000 US troops ready to be deployed.
These steps, Austin told ABC, “sends another message to those who seek to widen this conflict.”
He spoke on the 16th day of the Gaza War, which began on October 7th, when Hamas infiltrated Israel’s southern border killing over 1,400 civilians and soldiers and taking another 212 people hostage. Over 4,500 people have been killed in Gaza either due to IDF aerial strikes or failed Palestinian rocket launches.
Israel has prepared to follow those bombings with a ground campaign to oust Hamas, which has forcibly controlled the 2.3 million people in Gaza since it violently seized control of the enclave in 2007.

So, hopefully some creative War Planner's use strategy to flank those flanking Israel, use Saudi Airports and whomever they think deem Israel allied with, for air/fuel support/supplies in ME! Israel should slam dunk Criminal Coward Terrorist's Fractions; OH, IMO it could, can, and should be done, in & out.
We are not at Ezekiel 38 quite yet IMO! Perhaps after some type of reprieve, we win more souls to Jesus, just don't rightly know, yet do know, the ineptness/thirst for power/greedy traitor's/drunk with hatred for mankind, IMO, are part of this whole situation occurring now!
This should had not occurred, IMO! If for a minute, as it's reputed, is a truly known fact, Iran is behind funding, strategizing with Hamas Henchmen, USA/Israel need act now, IMO!
Israel need take pre- pre-emptive measures to take out site where known nuclear activities are on-going in Iran, in my opinion. In & out. So arravagating as a human-being to realize this Spiritual Warfare being fought is a time-lined drawn out, on and on unfolding chain of events; all because of wickedness gaining traction on our planet Earth IMO! "Yikes".
"What Is Love" like the song, right?
If love is about mutual growth, support, respect, and understanding, it's so simple, IMO! Many people everywhere have corrupted themselves to forget, the simple things in life
are the best; created wars, pushed poverty, Leaders selling out, are senseless, and should never be current reality, yet tis here!
Everyone should have Faith, and want peace, hope, love, unity, and a puppy! Prayers for Israel!
