President Trump announced that an 'armada' of U.S. warships is headed toward the Middle East as a precautionary measure in response to Iran's handling of massive protests that began in late December. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its escort ships are currently in the Indian Ocean and are expected to arrive in the Middle East within the next few days. Trump stated that it was a 'good sign' that Iran had decided not to hang protesters, and that the presence of the warships might deter the need for further action. The situation remains tense, with the U.S. maintaining a significant military presence in the region.
