Ford carrier strike group, which the Pentagon sent to the eastern Mediterranean Sea following the Palestinian militant group Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. officials have issued stern warnings to Iran-backed proxy forces in the region to not escalate the conflict, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated a commitment to \u201cdeter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this conflict,\u201d in a call with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant last week, the Pentagon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria have faced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/14\/drone-attacks-on-us-troops-in-middle-east-rise-to-55-in-under-a-month\/\" target=\"_blank\">55 attacks from Iranian-backed militias<\/a> in the last month, leading to nearly 60 injuries, the Pentagon said Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that we are all sensitive to the fact that there are tensions in the region,\u201d Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters this month. \u201cYou are seeing, and we probably will continue to see, groups that may try to exploit the situation to benefit their own interests, to include Iranian proxy groups,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ford\u2019s strike group conducted dual carrier operations earlier this month with the Dwight D. Eisenhower and the U.S. 6th Fleet flagship Mount Whitney in the Eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2023\/11\/06\/eisenhower-strike-group-submarine-arrive-in-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eisenhower has since transited the Suez Canal and arrived in the Middle Eastern <\/a>waters of U.S. Central Command on Nov. 4.
