A US defense official has confirmed that US forces in the Middle East are currently engaged in defending against Iranian-launched missiles targeting Israel. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, prompting the US to deploy a range of assets capable of intercepting missiles.
Among the assets deployed are destroyers positioned in the eastern Mediterranean, a carrier strike group operating in the Arabian Sea, and fighter jet squadrons on standby. These assets play a crucial role in the defense strategy to protect Israel from potential missile threats.
