Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is now in the Red Sea and moving toward the Persian Gulf, USNI News has learned.
The Lincoln Carrier Strike Group left the Mediterranean and transited the Suez Canal, officially entering U.S. 5th Fleet and U.S. Central Command.
A message left with U.S. Central Command by USNI News was not immediately returned.
The move follows a statement earlier this week from the National Security Council that, due to provocative behavior from Iran and new intelligence estimates, the U.S. was repositioning the strike group from the Mediterranean to the Gulf. The Pentagon also deployed a U.S. Air Force bomber detachment that included B-52 Stratofortress bombers to the region.
