#NBC: The Pentagon has more than 450 Tomahawk land attack missiles in the Middle East

The Abraham Lincoln and its attending ships arrived in the region last week. They are still heading to a location from where they could be used to support strikes against the regime in Tehran, according to three U.S. officials. Those ships join what Trump described as an “armada” of military equipment that is already there, including about a dozen other ships, air squadrons and logistics aircraft and dozens of F-15 and F-35 stealth jet fighters, according to two U.S. officials.

The Pentagon also has more than 450 Tomahawk land attack missiles on ships in the region, weaponry poised to be used against the regime should Trump greenlight any operation, according to a U.S. official and open-source tracking.
