In response to escalating tensions with Iran and its proxies, the US has deployed the Ohio-class submarine, USS Florida, armed with 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, to the Middle East. The Biden administration has warned Iran and Hezbollah of potential military intervention if they initiate attacks against Israel. This move is aimed at preventing the Gaza war from spreading. The number of attacks on US troops has significantly increased, with 38 confirmed incidents and at least 46 US service members injured. These 'harassing attacks' are believed to be orchestrated by Iran-backed militias, prompting an increase in US military assets in the region.
