President Biden said Tuesday a second aircraft carrier and its flotilla of supporting ships would head to the Mediterranean Sea as part of an escalation of the U.S. military effort to keep Hezbollah from joining the war—and Iran from escalating and exploiting it. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and its accompanying ships were scheduled months ago to sail this week near the Middle East.
Ford and its accompanying ships arrived near Israel on Tuesday, the Pentagon announced. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday there were no current plans to send U.S. ground troops into Israel. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this week offered Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant planning and intelligence support from special-operations commandos to help Israel deal with a deepening hostage crisis.
