Tensions in the Middle East are rising once again as the United States expands its military presence near Iran while nuclear negotiations continue.
Washington is deploying the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to join the USS Abraham Lincoln and multiple destroyers already positioned in the region, a rare concentration of American naval power.

Meanwhile, China is closely watching the situation, positioning itself strategically in the Middle East as global power competition intensifies.
In this edition of World News, Pankaj Mishra breaks down the military buildup, the diplomatic stakes, Iran’s signalling and the wider geopolitical implications. Watch.
