America-Iran: US Deployes Aircraft Carrier, Fighter Jets, and Missile Defenses Near Iran

by

America-Iran Tension: Tensions between the US and Iran seem to be rising once more. In late January, US President Donald Trump announced that powerful warships were en route to Iran, expressing hope that they would not need to be used. Since that time, the US has notably bolstered its military presence in the Middle East.

In response to this military buildup, Iran has declared that it does not comprehend the language of force. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi remarked that while the US is sending ships and aircraft to the region, Iran will not be cowed by such actions. He made it clear that the presence of US troops does not intimidate Iran.

America’s aircraft carrier

As reported by the BBC, in late January, the US dispatched its aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln along with three missile-equipped warships to the Arabian Sea. Additionally, around 5,700 extra troops were sent to the area. The US shared images of these vessels on social media, aiming to project a message of peace through strength. Moreover, several other US warships are stationed around the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Red Sea, with specialized ships on standby to clear sea mines if necessary.

Preparations for the United States and Britain

Regarding air power, the US has sent F-15 fighter jets, MQ-9 drones, and A-10 attack aircraft to the Middle East. Britain has also positioned its Typhoon fighter jets in Qatar. Furthermore, the US has enhanced its THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems in the region. Amid rising tensions, the US has cautioned merchant vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. American ships have been advised to steer clear of Iranian waters and to decline any inspections.

President Trump’s demands on Iran

President Trump has insisted that Iran cease its uranium program, terminate its ballistic missile initiatives, and stop supporting regional organizations. Nevertheless, Iran has consistently asserted that its nuclear program is intended solely for peaceful purposes.
