Iran Declares Support Facilities for USS Gerald R. Ford in Red Sea as Military Targets

Iran has designated logistical and service facilities supporting the US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford in the Red Sea as legitimate military targets, according to Iranian authorities cited by Press TV. This declaration aims to deter further military actions amid escalating tensions and recent exchanges of attacks involving Iran, the US, and Israel in West Asia. The USS Gerald R. Ford, a key component of the US Navy's carrier strike group, operates with escort vessels and support ships to maintain its presence in the region.
