The US Central Command says an Ohio-class submarine has arrived in its area of responsibility, which includes the eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman.
Ohio-class subs are both nuclear-powered and carry nuclear warheads.
The army does not say where the submarine has been deployed to, but its arrival in the region is may be part of the same strategy that has seen the US dispatch two carrier strike groups in order to deter Iran and its proxies from attacking Israel.
