WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has informed Israel about current and future changes to U.S. forces in the Middle East, the Pentagon said on Wednesday, though he had not decided which additional capabilities to send.

“(Austin) informed the minister of additional measures to include ongoing and future defensive force posture changes that the department will take to support the defense of Israel,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh told reporters after a call between Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Singh added that the move could include deploying additional forces to the region, but Austin had not made a decision.
