CENTCOM Sends 20 US Warships — and Two Aircraft Carriers —toward Iran after Trump Threatens to Reinstate Naval Blockade

The US is redirecting an armada of warships — including two aircraft carriers – toward Iran as President Trump threatens to reinstate the blockade on Iranian ports.

Maritime trackers on Friday spotted the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS George H.W. Bush entering the Gulf of Oman — a move experts in military planning say would be necessary to re-establish the blockade that crippled the Iranian economy.

“More than 20 US Navy warships are patrolling waters across the Middle East as CENTCOM forces continue promoting regional security and stability,” US Central Command posted to X this week.

Asked about restarting the blockade that choked off supplies to Tehran, CENTCOM declined to comment on “operational updates.”

The aircraft carriers were spotted within Iran’s missile range, raising their risk level, according to the trackers. (Read more from “CENTCOM Sends 20 US Warships — and Two Aircraft Carriers —toward Iran after Trump Threatens to Reinstate Naval Blockade” HERE)
