A Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) military source disputed on Tuesday erroneous accusations that the US Army used Jordanian military bases to transfer supplies to the Israeli occupation.

The source expressed that the accusations regarding a US military plane taking off from a Jordanian military facility are "unfounded" and "false", warning that they are part of a smear campaign against Jordan.

He claimed that Jordan has maintained a steadfast position with Palestine and has made continuous efforts to serve the Palestinian cause and support the Palestinian right to freedom and independence. 

US aircraft carrier transfer increases escalating struggle: Moscow

According to  Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, Washington's transfer of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Normandy, and numerous destroyers increase the risk that things will escalate in the current situation in Palestine.

During a briefing on Tuesday, Zakharova expressed that "all this really raises suspicions that the situation is developing along the path of escalation and the risk of involving third countries in this conflict."

She explained that this comes with "long-term and very serious consequences" for the countries involved and for the global community.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed on Sunday, a day after the Palestinian Resistance initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Floods, that the Pentagon is moving ships and aircraft closer to the shores of occupied Palestine in support of "Israel".

Austin stated in the news release that in addition to Navy assets, he has made efforts to strengthen US Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the area.

Following the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood that the Palestinian Resistance launched on Saturday against continuous Israeli occupation violations, the White House has moved quickly to affirm US backing for "Israel", vowing "rock solid" support and warning other parties to stay out of the confrontation.
