The Pentagon will begin moving forces nearby in the coming days. Air and missile defense forces are expected to be deployed at US bases in the Persian Gulf. ABC News reported that the total number of US troops there is currently up to 30 thousand troops. As for the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, according to The War Zone, judging by European satellite images, it is currently heading west in the East Sea. It carries three squadrons of F/A-18 fighters and one squadron of fifth-generation F-35C fighters. As the TV channel notes, the transfer of forces will create more opportunities for Donald Trump to attack Iran in the future if he makes such a decision.
