aircraft carrier iran protests US military.

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three accompanying warships have arrived in the Middle East. U.S. Central Command said Monday on social media that the carrier “is currently deployed to the Middle East to promote regional security and stability.” The strike group is in the Indian Ocean and not in the Arabian Sea, which borders Iran. It will bring thousands of additional service members to the region. Trump told reporters last week that the ships were sent to the region “just in case.” He had threatened military action if Iran carried out mass executions of prisoners or killed peaceful demonstrators.
