The US issued an unusual announcement that an Ohio-class nuclear submarine had arrived in the operational area of the US Central Command, and the command published a photo of it passing through the Suez Canal, on Monday.
The identity of the submarine was not disclosed and it is not known whether it is one of the four submarines that carry Tomahawk cruise missiles or of the 14 submarines that carry the Trident-II ballistic missiles, but it is still a significant addition to the American deterrence force in the region, and the ability to attack if necessary.
Earlier, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that the US would send 300 troops to the CENTCOM region. Ryder did not specify the exact location of the troops, but stressed that they would not be sent to Israel.
