Massive American naval buildup signals resolve as Washington weighs force if Tehran rejects diplomacy.
The The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States has ordered the deployment of the USS George H.W. Bush to the Middle East, where it will join the USS Abraham Lincoln in a significant show of force aimed at deterring Iran.
The reinforcement follows remarks by Donald Trump indicating he is considering additional military deployments to the region amid fragile negotiations with Iran.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. According to statements afterward, Netanyahu urged Washington not to accept a partial agreement that could leave Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities intact, emphasizing Israel’s security concerns.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the meeting as positive but stressed that negotiations with Tehran must continue. He warned that if diplomacy fails, alternative outcomes remain on the table — referencing previous military action that he said sent a strong message to Iran.
The dual-carrier deployment dramatically increases US strike capacity in the region, reinforcing deterrence as Washington seeks leverage in talks. The move underscores American commitment to regional stability and signals that while diplomacy is preferred, military preparedness remains firmly in place.The The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States has ordered the deployment of the USS George H.W.
