The United States is sending an aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East in a “clear and unmistakable” message to Iran, declared John Bolton, the hawkish US national security advisor.

For nearly five years, the Saudi-UAE-led coalition has been waging war against Yemen on the pretext of confronting Iran. It has imposed a suffocating siege on a country separated from Iran by two Gulf states, one of which is a coalition partner in the aggression and has a good relationship with Tehran.

US and European missiles – including internationally banned bombs – have hit civilian homes, vital facilities, schools, hospitals, public markets, factories, roads, bridges, and even wedding halls and mosques. One of the US benefits from this aggression is the economic, which is selling weapons to Middle East countries.

The US is leading the aggression on Yemen while Saudi and UAE are its tools. Declaring sending weapons to Middle East under the pretext of Iran came after the Senate fell short of the votes needed to override President Trump’s veto of legislation demanding an end U.S. support for the Saudi-led military coalition operating in Yemen.

“The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region,” Bolton said in a Sunday statement.

The move, he said, is aimed at sending a “clear and unmistakable message” to Iran that “any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”
