“Stand by to stand down”.
This is the start of WW3
It’s all for show. The american left is on the side of the terrorists
"In my administration, support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering"
Just like Kabul, Joe? How about the billions you transferred to Iran and their proxies Hamas?
The fact that no reporters will ask such questions tells you all you need to know.
Sounds like symbolism over substance. What are they going to do once they get there?
Raises tensions? Really?
Around 250 are feared to have been massacred........
Feared to have been massacred? More than 260 bodies have been recovered, and some are missing, feared kdnapped, raped and murdered.
Typical weasel words from MSN.
Just where are these ships right now ???
Weeks away ???
and a few PT boats wont be enough...
We need to send some flat tops and battleships...
This is going to be like Iwa Jima ....
I suspect the real purpose of this deployment is to keep tabs on Israeli retaliation and limit it...
If by “support” you mean “keep a leash on” then this headline is true.
A week ago, Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, sounded optimistic about the region.

What a difference a week makes.
Just eight days ago, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, speaking at The Atlantic Festival, rattled off a long list of positive developments in the Middle East, developments that were allowing the Biden administration to focus on other regions and other problems. A truce was holding in Yemen. Iranian attacks against U.S. forces had stopped. America’s presence in Iraq was “stable.” The good news crescendo-ed with this statement: “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”
One week later, a shocking, multifront attack launched by the Iranian-supported Hamas against Israel has turned the Middle East into a maelstrom. The assault, almost 50 years to the day after the surprise Arab attack on Israel that marked the opening of the Yom Kippur War, could represent a paradigm-shifting moment as big as 9/11. So far, more than 100 Israelis are confirmed dead and many hundreds more gravely injured in a coordinated attack by Hamas terrorists who infiltrated by land, sea, and air.
A thousand tragedies will unfold—at the moment, an unknown number of Israeli civilians and soldiers might be held hostage in Gaza. As of this writing, nearly 200 are reported dead in Israeli reprisal raids. The Israeli army has activated at least 100,000 reservists, and a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza is plausible, if not probable.
Saudi Arabia and Israel were in talks about normalizing their relationship. The Iranian and terrorist response is not surprising although the extremity is.
It’s amazing how it got timed though. The Iranians get to throw a wrench in ongoing talks (the extremity of the attack guarantees that Israel’s response will be brutal and that will take the Saudi’s out of talks for a long time). OTOH, they waited until Biden had transferred 6 billion to Iran and released 65 million to Hamas. It looks like they have planned this for a long time but were just waiting to soak some more cash out of Biden.
Evil doesn’t mean dumb.
What’s the purpose of the fighter jets?
Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah has an Air Force.
Unless the US Embassy is attacked there is no need for F18 or F35 bombing runs.
The puppet masters are truly masterful in how they pull their puppet strings.
Black Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, South China Sea, how many active carrier battle groups do we have? What has already been pi$$ed away on Uke corruption would have floated four or five new carrier battle groups.
Are we going to attack Gaza?
This is just a small message to Iran.
“US sends warships and fighter jets to support Israel”
Considering what the Neocons think of Netanyahu, it’s probably best for him to respectfully request that they leave the region as they’ve made a HUGE MESS of the Middle East already.
Warships and jets won’t work fighting the Hamas when the job will require going door to door.
Are you sure they are there on Israels behalf and not another surprise attack?
