Israel-Hamas War Update: A U.S. Navy Ohio-class nuclear-powered submarine, armed with nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, has made its presence felt in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, situated near the Israeli coastline.
This formidable submarine is capable of carrying up to 20 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), or 154 long-range Tomahawk Cruise missiles, or a combination of both, enabling it to deliver powerful and precise strikes at great distances.
The deployment of this single submarine underscores its capacity to exert overwhelming force, capable of potentially paralyzing an entire nation. This move marks yet another substantial strategic development by the United States in the region, following the recent deployment of two Carrier Battle Groups.

On November 5, 2023, an Ohio-class submarine entered the area of responsibility under the U.S. Central Command, as officially confirmed by the U.S. Central Command. This deployment holds significant implications for the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, further underscoring the United States’ commitment to regional stability and security.
Note: The presence of such a nuclear-powered submarine in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is indeed a noteworthy development, as it can significantly influence the dynamics in the region of war.
