The U.S. is ramping up its military presence in the Middle East, deploying advanced F-22 Raptor fighter jets and warships to counter potential threats from Iran after the explosive death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. This move, discussed by President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, aims to strengthen Israel's defense and prevent regional escalation. The Pentagon's swift action includes enhancing air and missile defense capabilities and is a clear signal of U.S. commitment to support Israel amidst rising tensions and threats of retaliation from Iran.
