Amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran in February 2026, President Donald Trump is considering sending a second U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East as leverage while nuclear negotiations continue. The Pentagon has ordered preparations for another carrier to join the USS Abraham Lincoln already operating near Iran, potentially marking the first dual-carrier presence in the region in nearly a year. Trump has said the U.S. may take tough actions if diplomacy fails, while Tehran has strongly warned that increased U.S. military presence could be perceived as an “act of war”, undermining negotiations and risking broader conflict. Both sides remain engaged in talks, though disagreements persist.
