Hegseth increases US warship presence in West Asia with 2 aircraft carriers - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a rare move, is beefing up the Navy warship presence in the Middle East, ordering two aircraft carriers to be there next month as the US increases strikes on the Yemen-based Houthi rebels, according to a US official.

According to the official, Hegseth signed orders on Thursday to keep the USS Harry S Truman in the Middle East for at least an additional month.

Prior to that it had been years since the US had committed that much warship power to the Middle East.
