13TV announced the arrival of the US aircraft carrier in the Middle East

The US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln has arrived in the Middle East to prepare for a possible military campaign against Iran. This was reported on January 25 by the Israeli TV channel 13TV.

"The aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln arrived this evening and is located near Iran. The arrival of significant naval forces puts the United States before deciding on a possible strike, as part of the US military's promise to strengthen Israel's defense systems. A THAAD missile defense battery is expected to arrive in the region in the coming days," the publication says.

It is noted that tensions in the region are growing, and the United States has already deployed forces in strategic locations in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea.

Closer to the East: Washington is tightening its fist to the borders of Iran

After a series of internal protests in the Islamic Republic, the United States is once again betting on a show of force.

Earlier, on January 23, political analyst Dmitry Brije reported that US President Donald Trump's statements about sending a large naval group to the shores of Iran should be considered primarily as an element of a deterrence and pressure strategy aimed at returning the initiative to the negotiating table. According to him, direct US military intervention can lead to large-scale consequences for the entire Middle East.
