The United States of America decided to send a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, in a rare and provocative step while the administration of US President Donald Trump is intensifying the bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen.
According to the Politico newspaper, this step indicates the possibility of the US bombing campaign against the Iranian -backed Houthi group, against the backdrop of recent developments in the region.
US Defense Minister Beit Higseth ordered the American aircraft carrier group Harry S Truman, who is currently working in the Red Sea to extend its spread for at least a month, according to US officials.
Send an American aircraft carrier to the Middle East
The American aircraft carrier Carl Vinson and the destroyed destroyers will join the ship as accompanying forces in the coming weeks, and the Vincenton aircraft carrier is conducting training in the East China Sea with Japanese and South Koreans, according to Politico.
Vincenon’s arrival will be the second time during the past six months in which the United States sends two groups of aircraft carriers to the Middle East, but the first in the era of the Trump administration.
The two aircraft holders indicate that large resources are allocated to the Middle East, at a time when the White House and Pentagon insist that Asia is the place where American ships and aircraft should be present, and the dual proliferation will negatively affect the reform of ships, which will need maintenance in the shipbuilding ponds of the American naval navy originally, according to Politico.
