Washington’s deployment of a second aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean is a sign of the US’s “ironclad commitment to Israel’s security”, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has said.
Sending the USS carrier Dwight Eisenhower and its strike group to join the USS Gerald R Ford carrier in the region demonstrates Washington’s “resolve to deter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this war”, Lloyd said in a statement.
The two aircraft carriers will join a growing US force, including three US Air Force squadrons already deployed, as part of efforts “to deter hostile actions against Israel”, the statement added.
