WASHINGTON: The Pentagon Saturday moved to step up its military readiness in the Middle East, ordering activation of air defence systems “throughout” the region and alerting additional US forces that they may be deployed soon.

At least 55 dead as Israel steps up Gaza strikes: Hamas

US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the moves were in response to “recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces across the Middle East.”

Austin did not say how many additional US troops would be deployed to the region.

We are ready to fight against USA & Israel. We got so many lessons from other wars we went through . I promiss USA another Vietnam defeat and too many killed Americans and Israeli. USA needs a real historic lesson given them by Egyptians. We are waiting for the stupid USA President now.

@Dr Samy Rizk, President Biden didn’t burn babies. The world saw the monstrosities Palestinian are capable of end of story.

@Dr Samy Rizk, I remember when Saddam Hussein said..."we will give the mother of the wars to USA". It will be the same result.
