USS Abraham Lincoln to remain in the Gulf
USS Abraham Lincoln to remain in Middle East amid rising tensions
NavyTimes • October 2, 2024
The aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln will stay in the Middle East as the US.bolsters its forces in the region, the Pentagon said Sunday.
The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, following strikes in Lebanon and the death of the militant group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.
US Forces have surged to the region as concerns continue about an all-out war between Iran and Israel.
The Lincoln arrived in the Middle East in August to replace the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt after Lincoln was operating in the Indo-Pacific Region. The Lincoln is equipped with F-35C and F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets.
Additionally, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also ordered the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group to remain in the eastern Mediterranean, which has operated there since June.
“This afloat posture is complemented by DoD’s elevated fighter and attack squadron presence, including F-22, F-15E, F-16, and A-10 aircraft, and we will further reinforce our defensive air-support capabilities in the coming days,” the Pentagon said in a statement Sunday.
“The Secretary has also increased the readiness of additional US forces to deploy, elevating our preparedness to respond to various contingencies,” the Pentagon said. “And DoD maintains robust and integrated air-defense capabilities across the Middle East, ensuring the protection of US forces operating in the region.”
Meanwhile, the US is expanding its presence in the region, and the aircraft carrier Harry S Truman got underway last month for a regularly scheduled deployment to the European theater where officials said it will operate in the Mediterranean Sea.
However, world events have recently disrupted carrier deployments and diverted them to the Middle East. The aircraft carrier Dwight D Eisenhower got underway in October and ultimately entered the waters of US Central Command in November – marking the first time a carrier operated there since the end of the War in Afghanistan in 2021.
Consider this prophecy, a prophecy which Jacob blessed Judah
And Jacob said unto Judah, I know my son that thou art a mighty man for thy brethren; reign over them, and thy sons shall reign over their sons forever.
Only teach thy sons the bow and all the weapons of war, in order that they may fight the battles of their brother who will rule over his enemies. Book of Jasher 56:8-9
The above Prophecy is from the Book of Jasher, chapter 56, regarding Judah’s propensity and prominence in war, and the use of bow (and arrows); missiles, and all other form of weapons; that is, Judah is prone to go to war with its neighbours: and keeps on winning over its enemies! Now over the Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iranians from ancient Persia; besides the Gazans and Houthis in far-away Yemen.
