After Iran vowed to launch a bloody revenge on Israel, the US military urgently mobilized its troops to prepare for a tough battle in the Middle East. Israel overhauled its bunkers to ensure the safety of the people across the country.

According to CCTV News, the United States is sending more troops to the Middle East.Carrier Battle Group, Aegis-class destroyers and air force fighter squadrons to ensure that the country's military deployment in the Middle East is capable of responding to potential threats and supporting Israel in countering Iranian missile and drone threats. This action highlights the United States' determination to ensure the security of its allies, while also hinting at the deep-seated contradictions and challenges in the current global geopolitical chess game.

According to the deployment of the US military, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group is currently anchored in the Persian Gulf, while the USS Wasp amphibious assault battle group is active in the waters south of Crete in the Mediterranean. The Wasp is equipped with the well-trained 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit of the US Marine Corps. Obviously, this time the US military is serious and is trying its best to deal with the potential crisis from Iran.

In fact, once Iran officially starts fighting, the participation of the US Navy, especially multiple Aegis ships, will become a major factor in stopping Iran.Ballistic MissilesThe key to bombing. One aircraft carrier battle group, one amphibious battle group, plus one Marine expeditionary force. In terms of the size of the force, the US military has dispatched more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to the front line, ready to respond to joint attacks from Iran, Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite armed forces and Palestinian Hamas at any time.

Not only that, the US also maintained telephone communication with Israel, and promised to deploy more defensive weapons and equipment to the Middle East to support Israel in dealing with the crisis. In addition, senior US military officials also visited the Gulf countries to lobby these countries to form a united front with Israel and help Israel avoid Iranian missile attacks as much as possible.

Israel is also not idle. The Israeli government issued a notice requiring residents in the north and central regions to prepare a week's worth of supplies in advance. The Israel Defense Forces are also actively preparing to build a "desert city" to accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. It is not difficult to see that both Israel and the United States attach great importance to Iran's retaliatory actions, and it seems that the full-scale outbreak of the Middle East war is getting closer and closer.

Earlier, the retaliatory warning mentioned by US Secretary of State Blinken was about to pass, and the relevant parties in the Middle East were nervous, fearing that Iran would launch a fierce retaliatory action during this period. But in fact, whether it is a retaliatory warning or a subsequent retaliatory action, Iran is likely to launch a military action unexpectedly. After all, Israel has touched Iran's "red line". If Iran does not take action, Israel is likely to intensify and become more arrogant in subsequent military operations.

Analysts believe that Iran’s retaliatory actions will most likely be limited in scope. After all, Iran is a complete sovereign state. If a full-scale war really breaks out with Israel, the situation in the Middle East will inevitably become more out of control, and the United States and Israel will likely take ruthless actions against Iran. Therefore, on the whole, Iran does not currently want to have a full-scale conflict with the United States and Israel.

However, the US military's support for Israel's disruption of the situation in the Middle East will inevitably be resisted by multiple armed groups. Otherwise, Hamas's present will be the future of those armed groups. Therefore, the armed groups must join forces to force the United States, Israel and other countries to stop their military operations in Gaza and restore peace and stability in the Gaza Strip.

In short, the US decision to increase its military presence in the Middle East is a challenging step that reflects its commitment to the security of its allies and the deep divisions and contradictions in the current international political landscape. At this critical moment, the actions and decisions of all parties will directly affect the security and stability of the Middle East and the world. Therefore, seeking an effective balance and solution has become a top priority for the international community.
