Satellite images revealed that the United States has moved a third of its naval forces to the Middle East, appearing to be preparing for a major war if negotiations with Iran over the nuclear issue fail.
Erem News reported that, according to satellite images from specialized websites, the aircraft carrier CVN-70 Carl Vinson was spotted, along with a number of other warships from the Carrier Strike Group 1 (CSG-1).
At the same time, the guided-missile cruiser CG-59 Princeton and two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, believed to be DDG-104 Sterett and DDG-108 Wayne E. Meyer, were observed patrolling off the coast of Oman.
The destroyer DDG-108 Wayne E. Meyer departed its home port of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, as part of Carrier Strike Group 11 (CSG-11) alongside the aircraft carrier CVN-68 Nimitz, which is currently operating in the Pacific Ocean.
The Pentagon had previously announced the deployment of three US aircraft carriers to the Middle East: the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68), the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), and the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN-73).
Aircraft carriers are powerful and advanced military units and an important strategic asset for the US Navy, tasked with carrying out military missions in various countries around the world.
The US Naval Institute confirmed that the number of military vessels deployed by the US in the Middle East and Indian Ocean region has reached approximately 96, representing one-third of the total US naval force.
According to previous statements made by military sources to “Erem News,” the large mobilization of this number of naval vessels stems from strategic and geopolitical reasons that have contributed to the US increasing its naval presence in the Middle East.
Military sources confirmed that the mobilization of a third of the US Navy in the Middle East, as witnessed in recent days, is not related to minor tensions or limited conflict. Rather, these sources believe that the United States and Israel are preparing for a major war.
It is noteworthy that the US naval buildup in the Middle East in recent days has been accompanied by the deployment of approximately one-third of the US B-2 bomber fleet, a quarter of the B-52 fleet, and a tenth of the B-1 fleet to its military bases in the region.
