Trump’s DEADLY Nuclear Warships To ATTACK Iran in 48 Hrs? USS Abraham Lincoln SWITCHES Off Tracking

Oneindia

The USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, is moving toward the Middle East, accompanied by destroyers and nearly 90 aircraft, as tensions with Iran escalate amid widespread protests and a brutal government crackdown. Additional U.S. naval and air assets, including F-15s in Jordan, AC-130 gunships, MQ-4C drones, and special operations forces in Iraq, have been repositioned, with over 160 air movements observed since early January. While President Trump has been briefed on options ranging from targeted strikes to cyberattacks, the military buildup appears designed both to deter Iranian retaliation and to provide leverage in response to internal unrest.         #USvsIranWarLive #TrumpWarMoves #NuclearWarships #FighterJetsReadyToAttack #MiddleEastAlert #IranTensions #USMilitaryDeploys #WarshipDeployment #WarAlertLive #TehranThreat #GlobalConflict #MilitaryEscalation #BreakingWorldNews #PersianGulfAlert #USIranStandoff #TrumpLiveUpdates #IranRetaliationWarning #USForeignPolicy #UNSCDrama #WorldOnEdge #WarReadiness #WarCoverageLive #IranCrisisNews #IranWarLive #USIranConflict

00:19Imagine a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier slicing through the Indian Ocean,

00:25its transponders off, and the world watching, wondering if war is imminent.

00:31This is the USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class warship,

00:35currently headed toward the Middle East and potentially Iran.

00:40As of January 20, 2026, it's past the Strait of Malacca,

00:45expected to reach the CENTCOM area of responsibility by January 23 to 25.

00:52Alongside it, destroyers like the USS Spruens and USS Michael Murphy

00:57and a carrier air wing with nearly 90 aircraft, including F-A-18 Super Hornets,

01:04ready for action or deterrence.

01:07This move doesn't happen in a vacuum.

01:10The USS Lincoln replaces the USS Nimitz, which just finished its deployment,

01:15and comes as tensions with Iran have been escalating after widespread protests

01:20and a government crackdown that has left hundreds dead, with some estimates as high as 2,600.

01:27In real time, social media users have tracked the Lincoln's progress,

01:31watching a massive warship move across the globe, almost like a live strategic simulation.

01:37But the Lincoln is just the tip of the iceberg.

01:41Other carrier strike groups — guided missile cruisers, destroyers and submarines —

01:47are also heading to the Persian Gulf.

01:49Air assets from F-15s in Jordan to AC-130J gunships and MQ-4C drones are deploying,

01:58ready for reconnaissance or possible strikes.

02:01And this isn't just about naval or air power.

02:05Special operations forces, including Delta Force and the Night Stalkers,

02:10have moved into Iraq, potentially for targeted missions.

02:14Even defensive systems like Patriot batteries are being redeployed,

02:18preparing for Iranian retaliation.

02:21Since early January, over 160 air movements have been observed,

02:26and evacuations from bases suggest the U.S. is bracing for escalation.

02:30President Trump has been briefed multiple times on options ranging from targeted strikes

02:36on Iranian nuclear and military facilities to cyber attacks and sanctions,

02:41all designed to respond to the crackdown while minimizing civilian casualties.

02:46Israel, while publicly cautious, leans toward regime change,

02:51preparing defenses against as many as 700 ballistic missiles

02:55and hoping the regime collapses internally rather than through direct conflict.

03:01The protests in Iran, driven by economic collapse and government brutality,

03:06have provided a humanitarian framework for U.S. strategic options,

03:10with military movements framed as support for the protesters,

03:14rather than purely strategic or political action.

03:17Yet diplomacy remains a priority.

03:20No strikes have been confirmed.

03:22This surge of assets may be more about leverage than immediate action,

03:27and the risk of a wider war still hangs heavy over the region.

03:31The situation is still fluid,

03:33and the world watches as the U.S. Abraham Lincoln and U.S. military forces

03:38move closer to Iran amid protests, tensions,

03:42and the possibility of historic change.
