The U.S. is increasing its military presence in the Middle East amid speculation of possible airstrikes on Iran. Around 40,000 American troops are currently deployed in the region, and military aircraft and ships are being repositioned to support Israel. The USS Ford aircraft carrier is expected to bolster the area. Addressing Iranian facilities may require the use of special munitions.
