US military forces have been put on high alert following Iran’s threats to retaliate for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran days ago, as the war in the Gaza Strip rages on.
The US Department of Defense announced yesterday Friday the deployment of additional forces in the Middle East region, where warships and fighter jets are rushing, following threats from Iran and its allies Hamas and Hezbollah.

Similar measures were also taken in early April, before the missile and drone attack launched by Iran on 4/13 against Israel. But this time, in a possible combined attack by Hezbollah from Lebanon, the mission of US forces to intercept missiles and drones will be even more difficult given the pro-Iranian group’s large arsenal and proximity to Israel.
On April 13, Israel announced that it had shot down nearly 300 drones and missiles with the help of the US and other allies.
