The U.S. Navy is preparing to deploy the aircraft carrier “USS George Washington” to the Middle East to replace “USS Abraham Lincoln” in a pre-planned rotation. The U.S. defense minister also said the country’s Navy can continue the naval blockade of Iran for an indefinite period.

At the same time, Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the commander of CENTCOM, during a meeting with the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, called for the resumption of attacks on Iran and said that Tehran will not change its positions under current circumstances, and that an attack on Iran’s infrastructure could change the rules of the game.
