Read our privacy policy The US has deployed an aircraft carrier to the Middle East following “troubling and escalatory indications” that forces in Iran were preparing an attack on US troops in the region, according to a White House official. National security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday the decision was intended to “send a clear and unmistakable message” that any attack on US interests would be met with “unrelenting force”. The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force have been sent to the US Central Command region, which includes the Middle East. “If these actions take place, if they do by some third-party proxy, a militia group, Hezbollah, we will hold the Iranian leadership directly accountable for that.” Mr Pompeo however chose not to provide details on the allegations, but told reporters that Iran’s actions were unrelated to the recent conflict in Gaza and Israel.
