US Carrier Roosevelt to Middle East
The U.S. Navy announced that the aircraft carrier "USS Theodore Roosevelt" and its crew of 5,000 personnel will begin a deployment mission in the Middle East in the coming weeks, expected to last at least seven months, with plans to extend to eight months according to command directives. This comes after the lengthy mission undertaken by "USS Abraham Lincoln," which spent over 250 days at sea without stopping, raising concerns about the sailors' mental health and shortages of supplies onboard. Military sources confirm that tensions with Iran have put pressure on the U.S. fleet, amid efforts to increase certainty regarding deployment schedules despite the difficulties involved. Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier "Giorge Washington" is currently being moved to the region and is expected to replace the "Lincoln."
