The US is worried that Iran is planning on attacking American forces in the Middle East.
AP NEWS:
The U.S. is sending an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East ahead of schedule and warning that Iran and its proxy forces are showing “troubling and escalatory†indications of a possible attack on American forces in the region.
Exactly what prompted the action was unclear, but it marked a further step in sharply rising tensions between the Trump administration and the Islamic Republic.
National security adviser John Bolton said Sunday night the U.S. was deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East, intending to send a message that “unrelenting force†will meet any attack on American forces or allies.
“The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or regular Iranian forces,†Bolton said.
If Iran dared to attack it would be Donald Trump’s first real test of his Presidency on the foreign policy front. Tensions between Iran and the US are continuing to rise due to the Trump Administration’s strong stance against the regime.
