The US Navy is assembling a significant force in waters around Iran, signaling a continued military buildup despite public talk of de-escalation. The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group has returned to the region, accompanied by the destroyers USS Mahan and USS Winston S. Churchill, and is joining the USS Abraham Lincoln already operating in the north Arabian Sea. A third carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, is also en route and is expected to arrive before the end of April, according to a CBS report. This concentration of three carrier strike groups represents a formidable show of force in the tense waters near the Strait of Hormuz.
