In late October, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the United States had sent the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf and deployed additional air defenses throughout the region in anticipation of a continued escalation of attacks against US forces in the region by Iran's "proxy forces".
