American officials: The Biden administration will support “Israel” if a war breaks out with Hezbollah
CNN said that American officials reassured their Israeli counterparts regarding developments in the confrontations between the Israeli occupation army and Lebanese Hezbollah.
The network confirmed, citing officials, that the Biden administration will support “Israel” if war breaks out with Hezbollah.
In the same context, the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) is preparing to leave the Red Sea and head to the Mediterranean, while the accompanying destroyers will remain in the US Fifth Fleet.
This decision comes within the strategic movements of the American forces in the region, where it is expected that the carrier "Roosevelt" will replace it, according to the website of the US Naval Institute.
According to an American official, the carrier "Eisenhower" and its accompanying cruisers will move to the Mediterranean, while the accompanying destroyers will remain in the US Fifth Fleet.
Flight controllers tracked the separation of a C-2A Greyhound from the US 5th Fleet base in Bahrain to the Mediterranean Sea.
Eisenhower's departure comes at a time when tensions have escalated between the Lebanese Hezbollah and the occupation over the past few days, but an American official confirmed that Eisenhower's transfer has nothing to do with the recent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
