Trump Weighs Sending Another Aircraft Carrier to Middle East |
As negotiations continue. Axios: President Trump told Axios in an interview on Tuesday that he’s considering sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East to prepare for military action if negotiations with Iran fail. The U.S. and Iran resumed negotiations last Friday in Oman for the first time since the 12-day war in June, but Trump has simultaneously launched a massive military buildup in the Gulf. “Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” Trump told Axios…. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going,” Trump said, adding that he’s “thinking” about sending another aircraft carrier strike group. A U.S. official confirmed that there had been discussions about sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region. That’s in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group, which includes fighter jets, Tomahawk missiles and several ships. The U.S. had two carriers in the region during much of the war in Gaza (Axios). Ward Clark at RedState: Two carriers? Well, we’ve got more. But here’s the question: One of our carrier task groups contains more destructive power than Iran ever had. One didn’t seem to sway them much…. We could have a net of total air superiority over Iran within hours, which could prove a big help to the people on the ground – especially if we were identifying any regime-loyal military forces and reducing them to flyi |
