Reports of a major U.S. military buildup in the Middle East are raising fresh questions about Washington’s strategy as tensions with Iran intensify. Despite claims circulating about troop resignations, U.S. officials indicate a large-scale reinforcement effort, with up to 10,000 additional personnel expected to deploy in the coming days. The arrival of the USS George H.W. Bush and the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, alongside existing carrier groups like the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford, signals a sharp escalation in U.S. military posture.
