Why is the US reinforcing military assets in the Middle East?

The United States has deployed two aircraft carriers and fighter jets to the Middle East during Israel’s war on Gaza.

We can only hear bombardments everywhere, but we don’t know any anything about the casualties, about the situation on the ground.

We can no longer communicate with the international community to send our voice to the world to know what is happening on the ground. I hope that this message might reach […]
