Let’s be clear though—two destroyers ain’t waging war with Iran. They’re most likely moving these closer so that, once again, if/when Iran retaliates for this unprovoked attack by Israel, they can help shield Israel from incoming missiles and drones.

Yeah that was my first thought. If we were serious about getting involved there would be a carrier group headed that way.
