Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell clarified, amid speculation about whether U.S. President Trump would order joining an attack on Iran, that American forces in the Middle East region are currently in a "defensive posture." According to him, "That has not changed, we will defend U.S. forces and our interests." Earlier, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on X that he ordered the deployment of additional "defensive capabilities" in the Middle East.
