Washington (HRNW) – Amid rising tensions with Iran, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has entered the Mediterranean Sea, signaling heightened US military readiness.
According to international sources, the carrier strike group is currently crossing the Strait of Gibraltar as the second round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran continues. US President Donald Trump ordered the deployment last week while considering possible military action against Iran.
US defense officials say the carrier is expected to reach the Middle East in a few days, ready for potential operations. Photos released by the US Department of Defense show an F/A-18F Super Hornet taking off from the deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford, highlighting the Navy’s operational preparedness.
