Washington remains silent on carrier count
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin refused to disclose whether the aircraft carrier "Theodore Roosevelt" will join the current forces in the Middle East or replace any of them, keeping the size of the American naval deployment undisclosed. Currently, the region hosts the aircraft carriers "George H. W. Bush" and "George Washington," with the anticipated arrival of "Theodore Roosevelt." If "George Washington" remains after its arrival, there will be three carrier strike groups in the area for the first time since April. This American secrecy comes amid escalating tensions with Iran, with repeated questions about the possibility of a military resolution, though the Defense Secretary did not provide clear details on the matter.
