The United States is deploying three additional warships to waters near Iran amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The move comes as military tensions remain high in the region. A US Navy fleet tracker reported that several American warships, including the USS George Washington carrier strike group and the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship, are operating in the Arabian Sea in support of US operations against Iran.
The latest development comes amid continued uncertainty over US-Iran diplomacy. Reuters reported on Thursday that Iran is preparing a stronger response if Washington resumes large-scale attacks, while Tehran is also pursuing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions.
