Austin to send fighter jets, keep carrier group in Middle East for Israel defense

The US is sending a carrier strike group, a fighter squadron, and additional warships to the Middle East amid concerns over an Iranian retaliation following the killing of a senior Hamas leader.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln to replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Gulf of Oman, according to Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.
A fighter squadron has also been deployed to the region, as confirmed by Singh, alongside the USS Wasp, which can assist in evacuating US citizens in Lebanon.
