USS George H.W. Bush carrier group nears Middle East

The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) aircraft carrier strike group is currently located near the coast of Tanzania or Kenya and is expected to arrive in the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility in 3-5 days. This will be the third carrier group deployed to the region, alongside the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald R. Ford. Analysts speculate the U.S. is likely waiting for the Bush's arrival before resuming operations against Iran.
