Israel is facing a dire situation, and although Iran has not yet decided to launch a final revenge against Israel, the sky over Israel is already full of rockets, and in the past night, Israel has been subjected to a heavy sweep of about 50 rockets from the direction of Lebanon.
Seeing that Israel was being beaten, the United States was instantly anxious, and the White House had already warned Iran not to move Israel. At the same time, the Pentagon has begun to deploy troops and send additional troops to the rescue site.
The USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group, which was originally carrying out the task of intercepting Yemen's Houthi armed missile drones in the Red Sea, has been maneuvering at full speed to the northern part of the Red Sea to reinforce Israel in the eastern Mediterranean.
At present, the situation in the eastern Mediterranean has heated up at full speed, and the US military has deployed Ticonderoga-class cruisers and two capital destroyers to support Israel's military operations with the "Aegis" system. The arrival of the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower with fully loaded carrier-based aircraft will make up for the lack of Israeli naval strength and greatly ease the pressure on Israel's airspace.
Israel's weakness is that it does not have enough depth, from the Red Sea ports in the south to the areas of contact with Lebanon in the north, there is really not much depth that Israel can control, and even the home-made rockets of Hamas in Gaza can hit northern Israel.
The United States dispatched a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier to support the scene this time, which really gave Israel enough face. The F/A-18E Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft on the USS Eisenhower will effectively help Israel deal with incoming missiles and drones. Whether it was launched from the direction of Lebanon or from the southern part of the Red Sea by the Yemeni Houthis, the US military was able to intercept it.
But a larger airstrike may not be yet to come, with the U.S. assessing that Iran could launch hundreds of missiles and drones that would cripple Israel's ground defenses.
So the point is not Lebanon, nor Yemen, but Iran. This time Tehran is also very tough, and Iran is clearly not prepared to budge. Israel needs to pay a price for its actions, and will the United States dare to protect its shortcomings this time?
