The United States has initiated large-scale, multi-day military drills in the Middle East, as a massive “armada” of ships makes its way to Iran. However, in exchange, he’s increasing military actions in the Middle East, likely gearing up for a war there. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was sent toward the Middle East earlier this week, accompanied by guided-missile destroyers. The U.S. military has also moved additional F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, Patriot missile batteries, and THAAD air defense systems to the Middle East. Additionally, an unnamed Gulf official told Middle East Eye, according to reporting by RT, that Washington is weighing precision strikes against Iranian officials and military commanders.
