Committed to ensuring US-India partnership supports efforts of allies in Indo-Pacific: US defence secretary
Friday, 12 April 2024 US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the importance of bolstering India's military capabilities to maintain stability in the wider Indo-Pacific region during a Congressional hearing. Additionally, Admiral John C Aquilino, Commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, stressed the significance of a strong US-India partnership in ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific, especially in light of China's assertive actions.
The U.S. ramps up its military presence in the Middle East with the deployment of ballistic missile destroyers and B-52 bombers, as tensions rise following Iranian threats against Israel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered these strategic assets to enhance deterrence and protect American personnel and allies in the region. This deployment coincides with reports of Iran potentially preparing to launch strikes against Israel, heightening concerns ahead of the U.S. presidential election. As the conflict escalates, including Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the U.S. reaffirms its commitment to regional stability and defense.
