Amid Israel-Iran conflict, US aircraft carrier Nimitz heads to Middle East

The US military has moved a large number of refueling aircraft to Europe as tensions in the Middle East have risen, two US officials said.

According to foreign media, they told Reuters that the aircraft carrier Nimitz is heading to the Middle East, although an official said the move was planned earlier.

Trump has said the US will continue to support Israel's defense, but has declined to say whether he has asked Benjamin Netanyahu to stop attacks on Iran.

We recall that Iran and Israel have escalated conflicts in recent days, attacking each other with missiles, drones, and fighter jets, writes A2 CNN.

Israel launched the attack with the claim that Iran was very close to creating nuclear weapons, which they believed threatened the existence of peace in the region. (A2 Televizion)
