Trump to hold meeting with National Security Ccouncil as US sends additional forces to Middle East

Hegseth did not disclose the type or size of the US force that would be sent to the region. But the Reuters news agency reported the movement of a large number of US military refuelling aircraft and an aircraft carrier to the Middle East.

The aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz, was reported to be leaving the Southeast Asia region after cancelling a scheduled visit to Vietnam and was tracked heading through the Malacca Strait towards the Indian Ocean, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking site.
