Washington has begun deploying at least one aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East amid heightened tensions with Iran, Fox News reported, citing military sources.
According to him, it is still not clear whether it is about the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier or the ships that departed from Norfolk and San Diego. Their deployment to the region is expected to take at least a week.
US air, ground and naval assets will arrive in the region in the coming days to give President Donald Trump options if he decides to strike Iran.
One of the sources of the TV channel stated that if the president decides to start a military operation, "it will be different, more offensive".
Military planners are preparing a number of options, the choice of which will depend on the actions of the Iranian authorities in the coming days. Officials describe the process of deployment of forces as "deployment of a group".
