The U.S. announced on November 1 the deployment of additional warships and aircraft, including B-52 bombers, to the Middle East, signaling a warning to Iran. Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder stated that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered more destroyers, a fighter squadron, refueling aircraft, and several B-52 bombers to the region. These forces will be stationed in the area over the coming months, coinciding with the return of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier to the United States.

Ryder emphasized that this move demonstrates America's ability to "deploy forces worldwide on short notice" to address rising national security threats. He also warned that if Iran or its proxies attack U.S. personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take all necessary actions to protect its people.

The USS Abraham Lincoln and three escort destroyers are expected to leave the Middle East in mid-November for San Diego. During this transition, the U.S. will temporarily lack a carrier presence in the region until the USS Harry S. Truman arrives in the Mediterranean. The total number of American troops in the Middle East, currently around 43,000, may decrease due to this rotation, as a carrier typically supports up to 5,000 personnel.

The deployment of B-52 bombers enhances the combat capabilities of U.S. forces, and these aircraft have previously been used to deter Iran. This rotation comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, following Israel's October 26 airstrikes against Iranian targets, which provoked threats of retaliation from Iranian officials.
