An American nuclear guided-missile submarine – USS Florida – left the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal and entered the Red Sea on Friday, joining the Bahrain-based US Fifth Fleet.
A picture was released showing the submarine in the Suez Canal equipped with a dry shelter for the use of special operations underwater vehicles. On 31 March CNN reported the Pentagon saying that a squadron of A-10 attack aircraft are to be deploying to the region.
According to CNN, Pentagon Spokesman Phil Ventura said that the USA ordered the George H W Bush Carrier Strike Group to remain in the region to support US forces in Central Command, which covers the Middle East.
The US military claims that the deployment of its forces and bolstering its military existence in the Middle East come in response to a series of alleged Iranian attacks on American targets in the region.
On moving the USS Florida from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, the Wall Street Journal reported the US military saying that was a public show of force in response to the recent attacks on American positions by Iran-aligned militants across the Middle East.
It has been widely known that Turkiye considers and marked the YPG as the Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a terrorist group.
The US regime and the European Union also consider the PKK a terror group it a terrorist group, but in many cases Turkiye has proved USA support for the YPG.
Washington has invested much money and military training in the YPG under the guise of fighting ISIS, but really it has helped the YPG create an independent entity along the border with Turkiye. Causing a headache for Turkiye.
The US military deployment in the region is also believed to be securing the theft of Syrian resources. Energy World reported that the US forces in one case smuggled 92 tankers and trucks of stolen Syrian oil and Wheat from northeastern Syria to US military bases in neighboring Iraq.
Xinhua news agency reported that oil tankers and wheat trucks were sent to Iraq through illegal border crossings set up by the US-led SDF, which is part of the YPG.
Xinhua pointed out that the US forces created military bases under the pretext of fighting terrorists in oil-rich areas in northeastern and eastern Syria, and started systematic stealing of Syrian oil, while forcing an embargo on Syria to import oil to support their economy?
The Syrian Oil Ministry said in August that the US forces were stealing 80% of Syria’s oil production, causing direct and indirect losses of about $107.1 billion to Syria’s oil and gas sector, Energy World confirmed.
The Director of the Yafa Study Centre in Cairo, Dr Refaat Ahmad said that the USA does not make anything except for the sake of Israel’s national security.
Therefore, building up American power in the region is related to what is happening in Palestine. They believe that the internal dispute [in Israel] might lead to a civil war in light of the increasing coordination among the poles of resistance.
The increasing indications on Russia’s victory in Ukraine, and the potential impact on the region worries the United States. Therefore, I see there is a connection between the destructive American moves in the region and international developments.
At the same time, the Chinese crisis with the United States, noting that this sheds the light on the dwindling American influence in the region.
Washington is afraid that the regimes in the Middle East might ignore their alliance with the United States and turn to Russia and its allies, whose influence on the region has already started to expand.
Iran is not a US enemy but a functional friend, whose function is to be a preeminent potential threat in the region. Under the pretext of deterring Iran and protecting its best friend, Washington keeps bolstering its military power in the region.
All the whole, the United States’ military presence means it is able to offer support to the dictatorships in the region.

The theft of Syrian natural resources have everything to do with bolstering the PKK and Zionist military/political influence in the ME. These moves concern other players such as Türkiye, Jordan and Iran. But there is a silver lining in the not too distant future with the prediction of USA administrative collapse.
Türkiye is in Syria because the US is sitting there supporting the Kurds and provoking them to act as a thorn against the Turks. Türkiye would prefer to fight that potential war in Syria rather than let it come inside it’s borders.
