The USS Roosevelt being sent to the Eastern Mediterranean, many pundits are assuming it is being tasked with defending Israel
With reports of the USS Roosevelt being sent to the Eastern Mediterranean, many pundits are assuming it is being tasked with defending Israel if an expanded war breaks out between Israel and Hezbollah. However, the USS Gerald Ford is leaving the area the Roosevelt is seemingly replacing it in rotation.
Observers have insisted that the switch in rotation means that the war with Hezbollah is about to begin. The start of the war and the arrival of the USS Roosevelt are connected but not in relation to defending Israel, but rather defending EU member Cyprus from attack.
From the moment Nasrallah threatened Cyprus for aiding Israel, the coming Northern war switched from an Iranian proxy war with Israel to potentially something regional that has the potential to ignite WW3.
