A U.S. aircraft carrier strike group is entering the Persian Gulf amid the latest threats from Iran’s Ayatollah regime.On Tuesday, the U.S. Navy said the USS Lincoln sailed through the Strait of Hormuz into the gulf, without specifying the reason behind the move.
Over the past few days, Iran has ramped up nuclear enrichment, made new threats against Israel and killed dozens of its own citizens — who were protesting Tehran’s policies
The UN said the Ayatollah regime may be imploding and could resort to desperate and irresponsible actions to protect itself.
“It would suggest that it is not simply the immediate trigger to the protest — which was a rise in fuel prices — but something much deeper-seated, problems in the country,” stated UN spokesperson Rupert Colville.
U.S. military officials previously said U.S. warships could enter the gulf in the case of a dramatic escalation of security tensions with Iran. Tehran has yet to comment on the matter.
