While the Israeli army, which responded to the Al-Aqsa flood operation launched by Hamas on the morning of October 7, has been raining bombs on Gaza for 31 days, its “blood” brother, the United States of America, has taken a step that will turn the region into a bloodbath. The US Navy, which had previously sent two aircraft carriers to the region, also sent one of its nuclear submarines off the coast of Israel. The White House said, in a statement about this move that sparked reactions, “Changing the position of our forces in the Middle East is a message of deterrence toward those who are trying to escalate the conflict.”

The submarine heading to the region is equipped with ballistic missiles and is known as the largest in the US Navy. The US military previously sent two aircraft carriers to the region.
