MBABANE:At least one United States (US) aircraft carrier is being moved towards the Middle East as tensions with Iran continue to build, military sources confirm to Fox News.
“It is not yet clear whether the carrier is the USS Abraham Lincoln, currently operating in the South China Sea, or one of two carriers that departed Norfolk and San Diego earlier this week. Transit to the region is expected to take at least a week,” reads the FoxNews report in part.
US President Donald Trump recently warned Iranian authorities that, he strike should the military shot civilians.
