The U.S. Navy Is Sending a Supercarrier Right to Iran’s Backyard
Summary and Key Points – A report says the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group is shifting from the South China Sea to the U.S. Central Command area as unrest in Iran grows and Washington signals it may intervene.
-The move highlights a broader strain on U.S. force posture after recent operations in the Caribbean and pressure on Venezuela. Analysts warn competing demands across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific could leave less air and missile defense capacity near U.S. troops if Iran retaliates.
