Second US Carrier Heads to Middle East

  • US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Middle East alongside the USS Abraham Lincoln amid ongoing tensions with Iran over its nuclear program and regional activities.
  • Diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, mediated by Oman, are ongoing but unlikely to succeed without significant concessions from Iran on its ballistic missile program and support for proxy groups, which Iran considers non-negotiable.
  • Trump has warned that failure to reach a nuclear deal within a month could lead to serious consequences, including potential military strikes ranging from limited attacks on militia targets to larger campaigns aimed at regime change, with risks of escalating conflict and regional instability.
  • The US strategy combines military pressure with diplomatic talks, leveraging Iran's internal challenges and regional dynamics to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and reshape power structures in the Middle East.
