Some war observers are beginning to notice that President Biden's newly dispatched Navy and Marine forces to waters near Israel are in greater numbers than previously thought. Are these just 'support' operations, or is Washington positioning major military assets for something bigger?

"Two defense officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss planned military movements, said Monday that the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, numbering more than 4,000 sailors and Marines, will join a growing American fleet off the coast of Israel that will include two aircraft carriers and their associated escort ships," writes The Washington Post.
