US Navy Shifts Aircraft Carriers to Middle East, Leaving Pacific Uncovered

The redeployment aims to deter Iran amid rising tensions, affecting US naval presence in the Indo-Pacific region.

Two US aircraft carrier strike groups have been repositioned from the Pacific to the Middle East.
The move is part of a broader strategy to support Israel and counter potential threats from Iran.
The absence of carriers in the Pacific raises concerns about US military readiness in the region.
Other naval assets and air power have been deployed to maintain a deterrent presence in both theaters.
Pentagon officials emphasize that the Indo-Pacific remains a priority despite the current focus on the Middle East.
