The US’s Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships have arrived in the West Asia region amid the country and the Israeli regime’s fears of Iran and Hezbollah’s promised severe response to Tel Aviv’s assassination of senior resistance figures.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM), which is tasked with handing the country’s forces deployed to the region as well as other places, announced the development in a post on the X social media platform on Wednesday.
“USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), equipped with F-35C and F/A-18 Block III fighters, entered the US Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility,” the post read.
“The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 3, is accompanied by Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 21 and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9,” it added.
The Pentagon ordered the carrier’s deployment to the region at the beginning of the month. On August 11, however, it ordered it to “accelerate its transit.”
The carrier’s arrival brings the number of such American vessels in the region to two alongside the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The latter is, however, reportedly slated to leave the region later.
The Israeli regime staged a targeted killing operation against Tehran on July 31, assassinating Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ former Political Bureau chief. Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The regime has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility, but the Islamic Republic has vowed to face it with “harsh punishment.”
Most recently, Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations said the country was to respond to the assassination in a time and manner that would take the regime “by surprise.”
Hours before carrying out the atrocity, the regime had assassinated Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in an attack against Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
The movement has likewise pledged to retaliate strongly.
On August 16, it revealed a new underground missile facility featuring a convoluted tunnel network, missile launchpads, and blast doors opening outwards, hinting at its operational readiness to stage the reprisal.
Fighting by not fighting. Iran has our number. Every war is won before it’s fought.
There is nothing between the Jordan and the Mediterranean that can build a political power, it is all just the USA and Western Europe being led by the nose by the International Jew Money Power and its tricks
Let’s go, you stupid goy slave morons…….send your children to die for Satan.
Nice picture of the USS Sitting Duck! An obsolete relic from WW2. A police car only useful against countries like Haiti. LOL! Can’t even bluff the Houthis!
If they try to back up the Genocidal, Insane Jews, (is that redundant?) they’ll get their asses shot off. Russia & China have Iran’s back, in case they didn’t know. The gloves will come off and that carrier will learn what a Hyperglide missile is!
What happens when a nuclear-powered ship sinks? Never heard that discussion.
ZWOG is gradually setting the chessboard for their upcoming ‘end of days Bibletard war’ as they direct both ‘sides’ to fulfill their ‘prophecies’.
The US of A military is poking the bear, they want a war, because jew land told them to
We may soon find out how quickly one of those flat tops can sink.
NUKE THEM SITTING DUCKS !
So when will the superweapons from BRICS sink these ships? Never! Because it’s all going as scripted and nothing every happens to the small hat club unless the small hat club wants it to.
