WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is shifting military resources, including ships, in the Middle East in response to Israel’s strikes on Iran and a possible retaliatory attack by Tehran, two U.S. officials said Friday.
The Navy has directed the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner, which is capable of defending against ballistic missiles, to begin sailing from the western Mediterranean Sea toward the eastern Mediterranean and has directed a second destroyer to begin moving forward so it can be available if requested by the White House.

What’s happening in Diego Garcia?
“The Iranians can shred our naval defenses like they shred Tel Aviv’s Ironed Dome.”
Iran shot about 150 drones and missiles and what, 7 landed, nobody dead?
Good shootin’ there shiites.
None of our business whats happening in Diego Garcia.
The important thing is that its clear Iran has no nuclear capabilities or they’d have used them by now.
Damned lucky, that. I had about 50% odds on them having an untested nuke on a nosecone already.
The mullahs would have a hard time making a frozen dinner without f’ing it up. The only thing they’ll be shredding are the documents that prove their war crimes.
“Shred”? Thanks for the chuckle.
Thats the propaganda being pushed.
The damage will be made clear in a short time.
Goong to be serious internal problems within both countries, but the only one we will be made aware of is within Israel. Irans got a serious lid on their reporting.
In the meantime. All of us here in the USA will suffer the consequences.
We most likely can thank the Russians for keeping a lid on them crazy bastards. Whether we like it or not.
They could have loaded a few of those missiles with radioactive material and sent them.
Another twisted yarn from hard spun.
LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS.
Why do you need to know?
(The Navy has directed the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner, which is capable of defending against ballistic missiles, to begin sailing from the western Mediterranean Sea toward the eastern Mediterranean)
Seems logical
Now the shift of guidance systems from Ukraine to the Middle East makes sense.
More effective to shut down Iranian Drone factories than to shoot down Iranian drones in Ukraine, one by one.
Iran has been at war with the US since the Islamic Republic was put in power by Jimmy Carter.
Now Israel is fighting Iran for us, without us putting a single boot on the ground and no offensive action by the US at all. We should absolutely provide missile defense support.
I am only sorry that Carter didn’t live to see his precious mullahs get bombed by the Jooooooz, so he could die knowing that Israel isn’t going anywhere, his efforts to the contrary notwithstanding.
I love sarcasm! That was good!
Brilliantly stated. He had a thing for hating Jews.
The Ayatollahs don’t have the capacity. This may be the time that ordinary Iranians rise up and toss the theocracy
Bomb Iran, Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran,
Remember the song?
It’s fine, Just let Israel do it.
