Amid rising tensions with Iran, the US has deployed fighter jets, missile destroyers, and carrier strike groups, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, to the Gulf. The show of force aims to deter potential Iranian aggression and signal US resolve as diplomatic talks continue. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also set to meet President Donald Trump today, likely urging the US to broaden negotiations with Iran to cover not only its nuclear program but also its missile arsenal and other security threats. Meanwhile, the US has advised American-flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz to avoid Iranian territorial waters.
