US Redeploys Aircraft Carrier to Middle East Amid Rising Tensions with Iran

The US is redeploying the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group from the South China Sea to the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran, which is facing widespread anti-government protests and has closed its airspace amid fears of a US strike. While the Pentagon has not officially confirmed the move, reports indicate the redeployment will take about a week. Former President Trump has expressed support for Iranian protesters and hinted at possible US action but has not committed to military intervention.
