The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has been sighted sailing near Gibraltar, as US President Donald Trump orders a major military buildup in the Middle East. Video verified by Reuters shows the carrier moving through waters off northern Africa on February 20. The deployment comes as Trump prepares for a potential multi-week air campaign against Iran, though he has not publicly detailed the rationale for what could become the most aggressive US action against Tehran since 1979. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Iran would not bow to pressure from world powers, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expects a draft counterproposal in ongoing nuclear talks within days.

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has been sighted sailing near Gibraltar, as US President Donald Trump orders a major military buildup in the Middle East.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Iran would not bow to pressure from world powers, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expects a draft counterproposal in ongoing nuclear talks within days. Trump’s focus on Iran has dominated the first 13 months of his second term, often eclipsing domestic concerns such as the cost of living. #USNavy #Iran #MiddleEast #Trump #GeraldRFord ♬ original sound - CGTN Europe - CGTN Europe
