These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces & interests in the region. As we evaluate the situation & our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect & defend U.S. personnel, partners, & allies in the region. Due to the dynamic nature of the situation, we will continue to provide updates as they become available."

The Chinese coastguard vessels set sail as Indonesia sent four more warships to the Natunas on Monday, doubling its naval presence to eight, after Chinese ships there refused to leave the area.

Dozens of Chinese fishing boats entered the waters of Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in Natuna last month. The Indonesian foreign ministry summoned the Chinese ambassador in Jakarta and issued a protest.
