Tensions between Iran and the United States have continued to rise, sparking concerns that the situation could escalate into a military confrontation.
According to Reuters, Washington has deployed a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East amid growing regional tensions.
Citing US officials, The New York Times reported that the USS Gerald R. Ford and its accompanying ships are being redirected from the Caribbean to the Middle East.
The move follows the earlier deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers, which arrived in the region in January, Reuters added.
Speaking on February 12, US President Donald Trump said the United States “has to make a deal” with Iran, suggesting that an agreement could be reached within the next month.
“Otherwise,” he warned, “it’s going to be very traumatic.” He told reporters.
