United States will deploy additional warships and fighter jets to the Middle East to help defend Israel from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies.
The Pentagon stated this, saying missile defence forces were placed on a state of increased readiness to deploy.
The U. S. Department of Defense added that its commitment to defend Israel was ironclad.
Meanwhile, Tensions remain high in the region over the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, and a key commander of the Lebanese militant group, Hezbollah.
