American deterrence is rapidly eroding in the Middle East .
Last week, the Pentagon announced that a squadron of A-10 attack aircraft would be deploying to the Middle East ahead of their scheduled deployment. The Pentagon has also ordered a carrier strike group to remain in the region. This bolstering of America’s military presence in the Middle East comes amid heightened tensions. The previous week, Iranian-backed proxies launched several attacks on U.S. bases in Syria, killing a contractor and wounding five U.S. service members and another contractor.
The US is exiting the ME so no surprise.
