  • On June 16, 2025, the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier left the South China Sea earlier than planned, canceled its upcoming visit to Vietnam, and altered its course toward the Middle East.
  • This redeployment followed Israel's June 13 strikes on Iran targeting its nuclear program amid escalating missile exchanges between Israel and Iran.

  • Esmaeil Baqaei, representing Iran’s Foreign Ministry, claimed that American decision-makers are involved in the aggression, while U.S. officials have denied any direct participation.
  • The U.S. military's movements underscore heightened readiness to protect personnel amid growing regional tensions and signal shifting strategic priorities globally.
