2 Oct, 08:40
The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group has deployed from San Diego and is expected to move to the U.S. Central Command area in the Middle East. Two U.S. carrier strike groups, led by the USS George Washington and USS George H.W. Bush, are currently operating in the region. The Theodore Roosevelt is expected to relieve the George Washington as part of the U.S. Navy's carrier rotation. Separately, Reuters reports that Iran is preparing a broader response if the United States resumes large-scale attacks, with Iranian commanders considering a wider range of targets and geography.
