PNN – The Zionist regime’s Channel 12 revealed on Thursday night that a number of American officials have told Israel that US navigators cannot remain in the region forever to support the regime.
The Palestinian “Sama” news agency, Channel 12 of the Zionist regime did not mention more details.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, this is while a few days ago, the US Ministry of Defense (Pentagon) extended the presence of two US aircraft carrier groups in the Middle East.
Amid the feeling of panic caused by Hezbollah’s retaliatory attack on the Zionist regime, the Pentagon decided this year to extend the deployment of its 2 aircraft carrier fleets in the Middle East.
Pat Ryder, the spokesman of the US Department of Defense, announced on the same day: US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin talked to Yoav Gallant on the phone about Israel’s action to defend itself against the attacks of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In the statement of the Pentagon spokesperson, the US Defense Secretary confirmed Israel’s right to defend itself in this telephone conversation and emphasized the iron determination of the United States to support Tel Aviv’s defense measures against threats from Iran, its proxy groups, and its regional partners.

According to this statement, in this conversation, Austin informed the Minister of War of the Zionist regime about the Pentagon’s decision to extend the deployment of its 2 aircraft carrier fleets in the Middle East.
The Pentagon spokesperson’s statement adds: In this phone call, Austin also emphasized his support for the continuation of negotiations to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and guarantee the release of Israeli hostages.
Following the White House officials’ support for the Zionist occupation regime, the US Defense Minister emphasized Washington’s commitment to support this regime in a conversation with Israel’s War Minister.
The Reuters news agency, citing the report of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), wrote that Austin discussed with Gallant about the defense of Israel against the attacks of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Pentagon report added: Austin emphasized the strong commitment of the United States to support Israel to defend itself against any attack by Iran, its partners and proxies in the region.
Also, the Central Command of the US Army in the Middle East (CENTCOM) had previously announced that the second aircraft carrier of this country’s navy, the USS Abraham Lincoln, has recently entered the Middle East with the escort of guided missile destroyers.
This ship, equipped with F-35 fighters, has been added to the ships of the United States that are currently present in the Middle East region, including the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, which entered the region in mid-July.
In early August, the US Secretary of Defense also ordered the Lincoln aircraft carrier to move from the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East as US President Joe Biden’s administration prepares to defend Israel.
In addition to Lincoln, Austin previously ordered the USS Georgia, a guided-missile submarine, to go to the Middle East, while the country’s officials rarely talk about the whereabouts of the country’s naval submarines.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced on Sunday morning that it completed the first phase of the response to the assassination of its jihadi commander Fawad Shekar.
In this phase of the response, Hezbollah targeted 11 bases and military positions of the Zionist regime.
