The Facts

  • The US is sending a guided missile submarine to the Middle East, as well as speeding up the travel of an aircraft carrier already en route, in preparation for potential attacks on Israel from Iran and Hezbollah in response to the killings of their military leaders.

  • The USS Georgia submarine carries up to 154 Tomahawk — which are used to strike land targets — while the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is carrying about 60 fighter jets, including F-35Cs.
