The threats are increasing, with the arrival of more US military reinforcements to the region to support Israel, by sending the United States aircraft carriers "USS Gerald Ford" and"USS Dwight D. Eisenhower", support ships and about 2,000 Marines, to be finally joined by more military reinforcements and US air defense systems.

America is waving a military intervention on the table, while US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin renewed the warning against military escalation in the region, stressing that his country "will not hesitate to move militarily" in the event of an expansion of the conflict.

"We see the potential for a significant escalation of attacks on our troops and citizens throughout the region," Austin said in a newspaper statement, adding that "we will not hesitate to act militarily in the event of an expansion of the conflict".

The US defense official stressed that his country reserves the right of self-defense, and that it "will not hesitate to take appropriate action to protect its troops," and warned any country or armed group not to seek to expand the conflict or benefit, according to ABC News.

In another development, according to media reports, China has deployed 6 warships to the Middle East, amid escalating tensions caused by the war between Israel and the resistance in Gaza.

The South China Morning Post reported that "task force 44 "Zibo"of the Chinese people's Liberation Army left Muscat to an unspecified place on Saturday, after participating in a joint exercise with the Omani Navy.
