National Security Council spokesman John F. Kirby told Newsmax that the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and its strike group off Israel's coast are there for "deterrence."
"Anybody – any other nation, any other terrorist group, any other entity that wants to try to take advantage of this situation in Israel and escalate or expand the conflict – this is a message to them not to do it," Kirby said of the Ford's strike group.

"I think that's been a little bit of a garble in some of the press reporting."
