A U.S. aircraft carrier strike group, including the Abraham Lincoln, is en route to the Gulf amid escalating tensions with Iran, following President Trump’s support for Iranian protesters. The military buildup coincides with a recent U.S. National Defense Strategy emphasizing a focus on the Western Hemisphere, despite ongoing threats from Iran’s military leaders. Iran has warned that any U.S. strike would target all American bases in the region, signaling a readiness for confrontation. The situation remains tense, with both sides on high alert for potential military actions.
