US Surging Military Assets To the Middle East To Prepare for War With Iran After Trump Postpones Attack Reports claim that Netanyahu asked Trump to delay the attack as Israel wants more time to prepare for counterattacks by Dave DeCamp \| January 15, 2026 at 6:28 pm ET \| Iran, Israel The US military is planning to surge military assets to the Middle East to prepare for a potential war with Iran after President Trump backed down from bombing the country, according to a report from The New York Times. US officials told the paper that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and some warships from its strike group were on their way to the Middle East from the South China Sea, a roughly week-long trip. The US is also planning to send an array of warplanes to the Middle East, including fighter jets and refueling aircraft, and additional air defenses. According to other media reports, the US military’s message to Trump amid his threats to bomb Iran is that there weren’t enough US assets in the region to face a potential counterattack, which could target the many US bases in the region. Trump was also reportedly told that US strikes likely wouldn’t result in regime change and could lead to a prolonged war.
