USS Abraham Lincoln Arrives in Middle East Amid Tensions
US Deploys USS Abraham Lincoln as Iran Faces Mass Protests
WASHINGTON: (Web Desk) – The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group has arrived in the Middle East, significantly increasing U.S. military presence in the region amid ongoing unrest in Iran. The deployment, confirmed by U.S. Central Command, comes after mass protests erupted in Iran over economic grievances, which escalated into widespread demonstrations against the Islamic Republic.
President Donald Trump has emphasized that “all options remain on the table” while maintaining that Tehran is open to negotiations, stating the U.S. has “a big armada next to Iran.” Rights groups report that Iran’s crackdown on protesters has been severe, with the Human Rights Activists News Agency confirming nearly 6,000 deaths, though the true toll may be higher.
