The US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three accompanying warships have reached the Middle East, raising fresh questions over possible military action against Iran. US Central Command said the strike group is deployed to support regional security and stability. President Donald Trump said the ships were sent as a precaution and added that force may not be used. Iran said its armed forces are closely monitoring US movements and warned of a strong response to any attack. Tensions have risen amid concerns over Iran’s internal crackdown and wider regional instability. The United Arab Emirates said it will not allow its territory, airspace or waters to be used for attacks on Iran. (PC: X)
