US Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved the sale of military equipment to "Israel," totaling over $20 billion, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.

The approved sales include F-15IA and F-15I+ aircraft worth $18.82 billion, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) valued at $102.5 million, 120mm tank rounds for $774.1 million, and modified M1148A1P2 medium tactical vehicles for $583.1 million.

This comes amid increased military buildup across the region following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Hajj Mohsen.

Multiple US officials told CNN earlier this month that they expect Iran and its allies to retaliate in the coming days, perhaps within the next few hours. However, they struggle "to gauge when the response will come and what form it will take."
