On the eve of an extensive war between the Israeli regime and the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, the United States Department of Defense (Pentagon) declared the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman to the eastern Mediterranean.

The Pentagon announced that the aircraft carrier strike group USS Harry S. Truman will sail to the eastern Mediterranean Sea the coming Monday.

According to the Pentagon, there are more than 6,500 sailors on the task force of the squadron. The USS Harry S. Truman is an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, which is capable of carrying 90 fighter jets and helicopters. The aircraft carrier has a length of 333 meters and is equipped with two nuclear reactors, which have been operational since 1996.

It is worth citing that the aircraft carriers of the terrorist army of the United States have always been one of the means of threat and leverage on various states. In recent years, US authorities have squeezed several concessions from other countries by threatening to deploy aircraft carriers.

After the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, and especially after the escalation of tensions in the West Asia region in recent months, US-owned ships in the region played a key role in defending the Tel Aviv regime against the strikes of the Axis of Resistance, particularly the Yemeni Armed Forces. Somehow, it can be argued that the US army has formed a defensive umbrella against the assaults of the Yemeni army against the positions of the Israeli regime in occupied territories of Palestine by dispatching warships.

Following the intensification of the fighting in the region, the Yemeni army’s missile and drone units broke the taboo of firing on the US fleet and succeeded in inflicting severe blows upon the US Navy. Reports of any strike on US warships, which until recently seemed odd, is now routine.

The American authorities claimed that the deployment of such warships is aimed at supporting and protecting merchant vessels from strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces, as well as to support and defend the Israeli regime. US military commanders have long opined that the presence of an aircraft carrier in the West Asia region is a strong deterrent against Iran and Islamic resistance factions in the region. That’s why, the American officials continue to emphasize the presence and strengthening of their naval fleets in the West Asian region.

The latest information, which have been published so far, indicate that the aircraft carrier strike group USS Abraham Lincoln (along with three destroyers) have been dispatched in the Gulf of Oman and two US Navy destroyers have been deployed in the Red Sea.

The USS Georgia (SSBN-729/SSGN-729), an Ohio-class cruise missile submarine, which was dispatched to the region as ordered by the US Secretary of Defense, is now in a region, which is under the command of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM). It is worth mentioning that US officials declined to provide further details or exact whereabouts of the submarine. There are also six warships belonging to the terrorist army of the United States, including the USS WASP that is a United States Navy multipurpose amphibious assault ship, along with marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and three other US destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean.

The destroyers and warships of the terrorist army of the United States, which are considered as a threat to the Axis of Resistance, are also an opportunity for the Islamic resistance movements, and the appropriate use of this opportunity can bring about both side effects and positive consequences for the Axis of Resistance; therefore, it is necessary for them to maintain vigilance, rely on the weaknesses of the United States’ vessels, when it comes to carrying out targeted attacks against the Americans. The United States’ terrorist army, which is well aware of these issues, changes the distance of its vessels with Yemen’s coastal areas at different intervals so that it does not easily fall into the ring of fire of the Yemeni Armed Forces.
