USS Gerald R. Ford Arrives Near Israel Amid US-Iran Tensions and Military Briefings

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, arrived at Israel's northern coast on February 27, joining the USS Abraham Lincoln amid rising US-Iran tensions over Iran's nuclear program. US President Donald Trump received military briefings on potential strike options, including limited or extended attacks on Iran's nuclear and missile sites. While no military action has been authorized, US and Israeli forces may coordinate operations. The US Embassy in Israel has authorized non-emergency personnel to leave due to safety concerns.
