From Biden orders US forces in Mideast to be adjusted ‘as necessary’
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has ordered US forces in the Middle East to be adjusted “as necessary,” the White House says, after Israel launched a wave of strikes in Lebanon’s capital Beirut targeting Hezbollah’s headquarters.
“He has directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary US force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full range of US objectives,” the White House says in a statement.
