The US military has been placed on heightened alert for threats linked to groups close to Iran, as the war between Israel and Hamas has escalated tensions across the wider Middle East region.
Last month, a US warship shot down 15 drones and four cruise missiles fired by Yemen’s pro-Iranian Houthi rebels at Israel.
The US recently sent a strong naval force to the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers and their accompanying ships, along with about 2,000 marines.
