1. Cheer for Israel.
Because the intensity of the Palestinian-Israeli situation is rising, now not only the Gaza Strip and Palestine are at war with Israel, but also Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Syria and other countries are showing more and more united postures. In such a situation, in order to ensure that Israel does not fall into overall strategic passivity, the United States has dispatched aircraft carrier battle formations in order to ensure Israel's position and the development of the situation.
2. Deterrent the Middle East.
This is one of the more important reasons why the United States was able to send two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. For the countries around the Mediterranean, and even for the Arab countries as a whole, powerful American aircraft carriers cruising in the Mediterranean, which has created objectively powerful pressure on the armed forces. For the Americans, it is hoped that these two aircraft carrier formations will be able to contain and deter some countries and corresponding forces in the Middle East that are about to move.
3. Strengthen the influence of the United States itself in controlling the Middle East.
In addition to the United States, Russia and China both have corresponding influence in the Middle East, especially this year under the mediation of China, Saudi Arabia and Iran have reached historic friendly exchanges. This has made the United States extremely vigilant about its influence and control in the Middle East, you know, before that, the United States tried to manipulate Saudi Arabia and Iran through various means, but did not achieve such a result. Now, on the contrary, our country has done it, and it will naturally be regarded as a hidden danger for the United States.
Under such a premise, the Americans dispatched two aircraft carriers to fight on the surface to support Israel in stabilizing the situation in the Middle East, but the more core intention was to highlight the control and presence of the US armed forces in the Middle East. Do everything possible to exclude and neutralize the influence of China and Russia in the Middle East.
After understanding the above three reasons, we can generally see why the Americans sent two aircraft carriers for the sake of a Hamas militant group. For this superpower, such superficial actions actually imply an internal strategic intention.
For this question, let's first take a look at the route drawn by the famous military blogger "Mu Xing Guanhaitian" from the 10th to the 13th of this month, which has reached the Mediterranean Sea in three days.
In the picture, we can see the USS Ford making a circumnavigation in the heart of the Mediterranean. It does look like a state of readiness, but at the same time, we note that the Americans' aircraft carriers have always remained 1,400 kilometers away from Middle Eastern countries like Iran. Why did the USS Ford sail like this in the Mediterranean?
Personally, I believe that considering Iran's actual developments in recent years, especially in the field of missiles, it is true that the Americans are now uncertain whether the Iranian military really has supersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers. Although for the Americans, they do not quite believe that the Iranian army does have such a **, they should not doubt that the Iranians have such courage, in case Iran really has such anti-ship missiles, it would be better for American aircraft carriers to operate outside their range and be able to be safer.
In fact, from this small detail, we can see the Middle East now. Compared with 20 years ago, great changes have taken place, especially the rapid development of Iran's military power and the progress of military science and technology fans, which has objectively greatly weakened the deterrent power of US aircraft carriers in the Middle East.
From this detail, we can roughly see that if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to escalate and the Middle East changes rapidly, even if the US aircraft carrier takes action, it will not be completely unscrupulous. This is because the United States has to add one more thing when it is guarding against the means of Arab countries attacking aircraft carriers: the attack of medium-range anti-ship missiles.
Under such a premise, if something happens in the Middle East, how much power can the United States' twin aircraft carriers exert and what kind of actions can they take?Actually, in our opinion, it's really hard to say right now.
