US Military Assets Near Iran: USS Abraham Lincoln, Gerald R. Ford and Growing Middle East Tensions
The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is currently positioned near Iran. It is worth noting that Washington has been increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program and its bloody crackdown on recent protests, even as negotiations continue. Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian officials are set to begin a second round of talks in Switzerland on Tuesday. Iran has stated that the meeting in Switzerland will focus on its nuclear program and the possible lifting of U.S. economic sanctions, while Washington has indicated it wants to raise additional issues during the negotiations. The Abraham Lincoln is accompanied by three guided missile destroyers, 90 aircraft including F-35 fighter jets, and 5,680 personnel. Although the carrier was deployed to the Gulf region at the end of January, it had not appeared in satellite imagery until now. According to the latest information, the vessel is currently near the coast of Oman, approximately 700 kilometers from Iran. Reports also indicate that the United States has dispatched the world’s largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford, toward the Middle East, where it could arrive within the next three weeks. The presence of the Abraham Lincoln further underscores that the U.S. has increased its military footprint in the Middle East in recent weeks. There has been a notable rise in the number of American destroyers, warships, and fighter jets in the region.
