WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed to the Middle East, the U.S. Central Command said on X on Monday.
"Sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) perform routine maintenance as the aircraft carrier sails in the Indian Ocean, Jan. 26," the command said in a post accompanying two photos.
U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that though a "massive" U.S. naval force was heading toward Iran, it may not be used.
Previously, Trump had repeatedly threatened possible military action against Iran. ■
