US Nuclear Sub Sends Message of Deterrence to Middle East Adversaries

The US Navy has deployed a guided-missile submarine to the Middle East, as part of a major military build-up amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The submarine's arrival in the US Central Command area suggests a show of force to contain regional tensions. This deployment follows the movement of significant military assets, including two aircraft carriers and fighter aircraft, as well as the deployment of American soldiers and special operations commandos advising the Israeli military. The US has also strengthened the defenses of its Gulf allies with missile defense systems. The build-up aims to deter regional escalation and protect US interests and partners.
