After indirect talks between Iran and the United States were held today in Oman over Tehran’s nuclear program, the US Central Command publishes new footage of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, which arrived in the region last week.
“The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, accompanied by two military supply ships, and two US Coast Guard cutters, sailed together in the Arabian Sea today as aircraft from Carrier Air Wing 9 flew overhead,” CENTCOM writes on X.

The aircraft carrier was moved to the Arabian Sea as US President Donald Trump threatened to attack Iran in response to the regime’s deadly crackdown on protesters.
