Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is on a trip to the Middle East this week to meet with counterparts regarding regional tension and the global impact of Russia's war in Ukraine.
Austin, whose trip will include stops in Jordan, Egypt, and Israel, is going to reiterate to Middle Eastern partners that the United States"remains committed to supporting their defense and increasing and strengthening the strategic partnerships with each of these countries," a senior Pentagon official told reporters on Friday.
Another major topic will be the threat from Iran, both in the region and globally, as the U.S. has accused Tehran of providing Russia with lethal aid for its war in Ukraine, while White House officials have warned in recent weeks that their relationship is strengthening.
