The US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, along with its strike group, has been deployed to the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal. This move comes amid speculation that US President Donald Trump may intensify strikes against Iran following the midterm elections. The carrier, which is accompanied by approximately 10,000 troops, departed from San Diego on Sunday and is currently en route to join other US aircraft carriers already stationed in the region.
The deployment is seen as a response to the conclusion of the previous carrier's mission and a demonstration of the US military's readiness, potentially signaling a resumption of military confrontation with Iran. The article, as reported by the Egypt Independent, also suggests that this deployment is a preparatory phase for potential military action in the post-midterm election period.
