Fox News revealed on Friday that the United States is conducting military movements in the Middle East, describing them as a “force buildup” operation.
Fox News quoted officials as saying that “the US military movements are being described as a force build-up operation.”
The sources added that “if US President Donald Trump decides to take military action against Iran, it will be different and more aggressive.”
She explained that “American military planners are preparing a range of options that will depend on how the Iranian regime behaves in the coming days.”
The sources pointed out that “missile defense systems are expected to be sent to the region to strengthen the defenses of US and Israeli bases, and these systems will include missile defense assets.”
Military sources also reported that the United States has moved at least one aircraft carrier to the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalate.
She noted that “it is not yet clear whether the carrier is the USS Abraham Lincoln currently operating in the South China Sea, or one of the two aircraft carriers that left Norfolk and San Diego earlier this week, and the transfer to the region is expected to take at least a week.”
According to the network, US military forces are expected to flow into the region by air, land and sea in the coming days and weeks to provide Trump with military options should he decide to launch strikes against Iran.
