The USA increases military presence: Nimitz carrier on the way to the Middle East!

In the middle of a tense conflict between Israel and Iran, the United States is strengthening its military presence in the Middle East. According to [Mainpost] (https://www.mainpost.de/politik/ Krieg- between-Israel-und-iran-verstaerken-militaerpraesenz-im-Easen-Osten-109540630), Defense Minister Pete Hegseth ordered new measures to protect the US troops in the region at the weekend. It becomes a second aircraft carrier, the "USS Nimitz", previously deducted from Asia to support the "USS Carl Vinson" already stationed. The incoming "USS Nimitz" is expected in the coming weeks and brings several thousand soldiers and dozens of fighter planes.

The increased use of military resources aims to support Israel in his defense - especially against possible attacks from Iran. In the case of current tensions, which were recently fueled by Hisbollah's attacks on Northern Israel, US protection is crucial for Israel. The concerns about rocket threats are great because the Hisbollah and Iran could prove to be potential aggressors.

increase in military strength

The conflict also has an impact on Iran, where she reports dummies of US aircraft carriers, especially the "Nimitz", to show up the US military presence. This procedure could be seen as a provocation and illustrates the tense relationship between the two nations, such as [Spiegel] (https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/iran-baut-attrappe-von-us-flimitraeger-nimitz-a 960143.html).
