US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday announced the arrival of an Ohio-class submarine to the Middle East.
Ohio-class submarines are nuclear-powered submarines which are capable of carrying cruise missiles and conducting special operations. They are designed for extended strategic deterrent patrols.
Since October 7, when Hamas launched its murderous attack on Israel, the US military has bolstered its presence in the Middle East.
In mid-October, the Pentagon ordered the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean near Israel to deter Iran or Hezbollah from joining the Israel-Hamas conflict.
