U.S. to change ‘defensive force postures’ in Middle East as regional tensions rise: Pentagon

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh spoke on Friday about changes to the U.S. military presence in the region. Singh said the U.S. will take additional measures including “ongoing and future defensive force posture changes,” while reiterating “ironclad support” for Israel’s defence. “All countries in the region would benefit from a de-escalation in tensions, including through completing a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal,” she said.
