US Extends Deployment of Two Aircraft Carriers in Middle East

The USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Abraham Lincoln remain on high alert amid escalating regional tensions involving Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt's return to the US is delayed to support Israel against potential threats from Iran and Hezbollah.
The USS Abraham Lincoln joined the Roosevelt, accelerating its deployment to enhance US military presence in the region.
Both carriers collectively carry over 150 aircraft, including advanced F-35 jets and helicopters.
The Pentagon aims to deter aggression and support Israel's defense while seeking to de-escalate regional tensions.
This marks the first dual deployment of US carrier strike groups in the Middle East since March 2020.
