In direct response to the growing number of Iranian ballistic missile strikes against Israel, the United States has reinforced its military posture in the Eastern Mediterranean by deploying five destroyers equipped with advanced missile defense capabilities. This buildup comes amid a particularly tense regional context, intensified over the weekend by several U.S. airstrikes carried out on Iranian territory. While those operations signal a clear message to Tehran, it is primarily the U.S. Navy’s maritime assets off the Eastern Mediterranean that now form the backbone of a reinforced and sustained defensive arrangement.
