President Trump ordered USS Gerald R. Ford and its strike group to the Middle East, joining USS Abraham Lincoln and creating a second carrier group near Iran as diplomacy resumed. The Ford, recently operating in the Caribbean, will take roughly three weeks to reach the region, a move intended to pressure Tehran ahead of U.S.-Iran talks mediated by Oman. The deployment comes despite Navy warnings about the Ford’s maintenance needs and follows recent incidents, including a U.S. jet shooting down an Iranian drone and Tehran’s naval drills. Officials say the show of force aims to strengthen U.S. leverage in negotiations. (washingtonpost.com)
