Eisenhower, whose deployment to the region had itself been extended multiple times, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2024\/07\/12\/theodore-roosevelt-carrier-strike-group-operating-in-the-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\">earlier this summer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/breaking-news\/2024\/08\/02\/us-to-boost-military-presence-in-middle-east-amid-growing-tensions\/\" target=\"_blank\">The extensions are part of America\u2019s surge in forces<\/a> to the region this month in an attempt to avert a larger conflict between Israel and Iran and its proxies.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2024\/08\/22\/uss-abraham-lincoln-arrives-in-middle-east\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8154970.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">USS Abraham Lincoln arrives in Middle East<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Abraham Lincoln is outfitted with F-35C and F\/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets and will replace the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Lincoln,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/breaking-news\/2024\/08\/02\/us-to-boost-military-presence-in-middle-east-amid-growing-tensions\/\" target=\"_blank\"> another fighter jet squadron, and other assets have also been rushed to the region.<\/a> The Georgia, a ballistic missile submarine, is still on its way to CENTCOM, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryder didn\u2019t say how long the Roosevelt would be extended or exactly when the decision was made, only saying Austin chose to do so over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surge seeks to provide some gray-hull deterrence after Israel launched two strikes in late July that heightened regional tensions \u2014 one in Lebanon\u2019s capital that came in retaliation for an earlier strike from Hezbollah, and another in Tehran, killing the political leader of Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the U.S. and its partners in the region have been bracing for return strikes from Hezbollah and Iran. The first came this weekend in an attack involving more than 230 rockets fired from Lebanon,<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IDF\/status\/1828086019633406063\" target=\"_blank\"> according to the Israeli military<\/a>. Preemptive strikes from Israel mainly thwarted the salvo, and both sides signaled that they were deescalating afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked in a morning press conference with reporters Monday whether America\u2019s surge in forces to the region had worked as intended, Ryder agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that the additional forces in the theater send a very clear message to all actors in the region that were serious when it comes to supporting the defense of Israel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryder said the U.S. had helped Israel spot incoming rockets from Hezbollah but hadn\u2019t participated in Israel\u2019s preemptive strikes in Lebanon. Israel didn\u2019t need kinetic support, Ryder said, but the U.S. is prepared to aid in its defense going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to assess that there is a threat of attack\u201d from Iran, Ryder said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the latest deployment extension of a Navy aircraft carrier in the Middle East, as
