the situation in the middle east continues to escalate, but the united states is still adding fuel to the fire and stepping up its military deployment in the middle east. the united states is constantly moving to increase its troops in the middle east and may once again deploy a dual aircraft carrier battle group to the middle east.

on the 23rd, u.s. department of defense spokesman pat ryder said that the united states is sending additional troops to the middle east due to the escalation of the conflict between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. ryder did not disclose more details about the number and mission of the additional troops. it is understood that the united states currently has about 40,000 troops in the region.

on the same day, the uss truman, two destroyers and a cruiser set sail from the norfolk naval base in virginia, usa, heading for the mediterranean sea to join the us navy's sixth fleet. it is understood that the uss truman will enter the mediterranean sea in about two weeks.

it is worth mentioning that the us navy's uss lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is currently being deployed in the persian gulf. the associated press speculates that the us may deploy the uss truman and the uss lincoln in the middle east at the same time. since the outbreak of a new round of israeli-palestinian conflict in october last year, there have been us aircraft carriers in the middle east, and sometimes two aircraft carriers are deployed at the same time. just last month, the us also deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups, the uss lincoln and the uss roosevelt, in the middle east. it was not until the 12th of this month that the uss roosevelt left the middle east waters.
