The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Gulf region - a move that is intended to warn Iran that any attack on US interests or on US allies “will be met with unrelenting force".
This comes a few days after Washington stopped waivers for countries buying oil from Iran and blacklisted Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
This indicates that the US-Iran situation is growing tense given especially that Commander of IRGC Quds Force Major-General Qasem Soleimani expected an “unavoidable military confrontation” with the United States.
Tactical Report has prepared a 371-word report to shed more light on the subject and tell what about the growing tension and confrontation scenarios.
