US Defense Department officials have reported that the Pentagon is worried about American troops in the Middle East amid the ongoing war in Palestine.
DoD officials are particularly concerned about what they consider "Iranian proxy groups" in Iraq and Syria, or Iranian forces in the Persian Gulf.
One of the officials told Politico “That presents an opportunity."
Maj. Geoffrey Carmichael, the spokesperson for the American military operation to counter ISIS in Syria and Iraq stated that US troops would not allow "nefarious actors pull us into engagements that detract from our mission."
Carmichael warned that the US reserves the right to “self-defense whenever faced with threats that place our forces in harm’s way.”

In August 2022, the Syrian Oil Ministry revealed that the US occupation forces loot the majority of Syria's oil, knowing that the daily production of the eastern oil fields is 80.3 thousand barrels.

The US has condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, calling Hamas "bloodthirsty," and comparing them to ISIS.
Biden still failed to mention that the Israeli occupation was brutally killing civilians, using white phosphorus, and bombing religious sites and schools where people typically seek refuge in times of war.
This calls into question the true intentions behind the deployment of aircraft carriers sent to the region. US President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he ordered moving aircraft carrier Gerald Ford to the eastern Mediterranean with the aim of supporting the US naval presence in the Middle East.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, underlined that the deployment of US aircraft carriers to the region, which aims to boost the morale of the Israeli occupation and its frustrated soldiers, reveals the weakness of the Israeli occupation's military apparatus despite the crimes and massacres it commits.
Moreover, Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades of Iraq warned Monday Washington against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
According to Lebanese news outlet Al-Ahed, the group stressed that "Palestine is not Ukraine" and that any interference or support the US extends to the Israeli entity would make US bases in the region targets for the Resistance.
The Group expressed that any support would be met with retaliation and zero red lines would remain uncrossed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Monday to "change the Middle East" in "Israel's" war on Gaza, as the occupation launches continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
