US Commander Visits USS Lincoln Amid Middle East Tensions and Regional Talks
Admiral Brad Cooper, the top US military commander in the Middle East, concluded a 10-day regional tour with a visit to the USS Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. The aircraft carrier, deployed since January, supports US operations against Iran, including a blockade of Iranian ports, and has set a record with over 240 uninterrupted days at sea. Cooper also met leaders in Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Meanwhile, Israel targeted Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon, and a Hamas delegation engaged in ceasefire talks in Cairo.
