The geopolitical tension between America and Iran in the Middle East has once again reached its peak. After a recent dangerous and violent incident on a flydubai flight, US President Donald Trump has taken a very tough stance. Following Trump’s warning, the US has decided to drastically increase its military strength in the region, under which about 9,000 to 10,000 additional US troops and a third aircraft carrier are being deployed in the Middle East. With this step of America, the security equation in the region seems to be completely changing.
According to the information received, the US Navy’s powerful warship ‘USS Theodore Roosevelt’ and its entire strike group will reach the Middle East waters by the end of November. This new and larger military deployment will unprecedentedly strengthen the U.S. Navy’s presence in the region, including more than 20,000 trained Sailors and Marines as well as hundreds of state-of-the-art combat aircraft.
Experts say two other aircraft carriers already in the Middle East—the USS George H.W. Bush’ and ‘USS George Washington’ are deployed with full alertness. Of these, ‘USS George Washington’ is generally known for the security of the Pacific Ocean region, but it has been specifically sent to the Middle East with the aim of relieving ‘USS Abraham Lincoln’ after a long deployment. This three-tier aircraft carrier strategy of America is being considered a big strategic step.
It is noteworthy that recently during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), a peace proposal was sent from Iran to America through Qatari mediators. However, US President Donald Trump has rejected this proposal outright. During a conversation with reporters at the White House, Trump bluntly said that he immediately wants a concrete agreement to safely open the Strait of Hormuz, because according to him the opposing side is lagging badly in this conflict.
Recently, a shocking incident of sudden fatal attack on the captain by the co-pilot inside the cockpit of a flydubai plane flying from Dubai came to light. When the media asked President Donald Trump whether this sensational attack has any connection with Iran, Trump replied that based on the information he is getting, his answer is “yes”, although an in-depth investigation of this matter is still going on.
When asked whether the US would take any major military action against Iran in response to this incident, Trump gave a stern warning, saying, “Oh, they’ll be hit pretty hard, don’t worry.” Although, no concrete evidence of any Iranian involvement in this attack has been officially made public yet, but this sharp statement of the US President has further increased the excitement in international politics.
