The United States has deployed 2 aircraft carriers near Iran

As tensions escalate once again, the US Navy has deployed its two aircraft carriers, USS Abraham Lincoln and USS George H.W. Bush, near Iran.
According to maritime traffic monitoring agencies, both warships entered the Gulf of Oman yesterday.
According to a New York Post report, the move aims to strengthen security around the Strait of Hormuz and possibly increase pressure on Tehran if needed.
The deployment comes at a time when concerns over attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are rising, with nearly 20% of the world's oil supply passing through the critical waterway.
Tensions between the US and Iran have intensified again after US President Donald Trump said that a temporary ceasefire between the two countries has ended, although negotiations may continue.
Following this, the US accused Iran of attacking three oil tankers in the region and launched strikes on Iranian military installations.
In response, Iran targeted US military bases in Gulf countries two days ago.
According to Reuters, nearly 17 people were killed in US strikes on six Iranian cities on Wednesday and Thursday.
The US Central Command (Centcom) has deployed more than 20 warships of the US Navy in the Middle East.
Centcom says the increase in naval power is aimed at promoting regional security and stability.
In a statement released on social media platform X, Centcom said that more than 20 US warships are patrolling various maritime areas in the Middle East, while Centcom forces are working to promote regional security and stability.
When asked if the deployment is related to restarting a naval blockade that has damaged Iran's economy in the past, Centcom declined to comment on operational matters, but the two aircraft carriers were seen within the range of Iranian missiles, increasing the risk for them.
Mark Montgomery, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a retired rear admiral, told the New York Post that troop movement is a normal part of operations, but when warships are prepared for a blockade or to support shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz, they generally get closer to the Iranian region.
The increased US naval presence reflects the US focus on controlling the Strait of Hormuz to keep oil prices in check in the global market, which is also a politically important issue for President Trump ahead of the congressional elections in November.
Meanwhile, a Qatari delegation has returned after completing talks in Iran aimed at reducing tensions between Tehran and Washington, while Iranian officials are likely to travel to Oman today for possible talks related to the Strait of Hormuz.
