Breaking Updates Defense secretary orders submarine to Middle East, accelerates arrival of strike group ahead of anticipated Iran attack US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Georgia, a guided-missile submarine, to the Middle East and expedited the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in response to escalating tensions in the region. The Pentagon revealed this move on Sunday evening as a strategic measure to deter a potential large-scale attack from Iran and its proxies against Israel. The USS Georgia, a nuclear-powered submarine recently operating in the Mediterranean, has been repositioned to the Middle East. The deployment of such submarines is typically shrouded in secrecy, and this public acknowledgment serves as a deliberate show of force and deterrence aimed at Iran and its aligned groups. This comes amid heightened fears of Iranian retaliation following recent Israeli actions against Iranian-affiliated groups. In addition to the submarine, the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which includes stealth F-35C fighter jets and several destroyers, has had its deployment accelerated. This move supplements the existing US naval presence in the region, including the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the USS Wasp amphibious ready group. The US and Israeli defense officials are collaborating closely to address the increased threat levels and to stabilize the situation.
