The US has ordered a second aircraft carrier group, the USS Nimitz, to head to the Middle East as\u00a0tensions ramp up over the\u00a0Iran-Israel conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Nimitz, the oldest of America\u2019s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, left the\u00a0South China Sea<\/a>, where it\u00a0was supposed to arrive at central Vietnam later this week.<\/p>\n

Its course changed Monday for the Middle East due to \u201can emergent operational requirement,\u201d sources told Reuters.<\/p>\n

The aircraft carrier\u2019s new heading was flagged by the ship-tracking website\u00a0Marine Traffic.<\/p>\n

The US military has also moved a large number of refueling aircraft to Europe to provide options to\u00a0President Trump<\/a>\u00a0for aerial operations in the region, officials told Reuters.<\/p>\n

The Truman made back-to-back headlines in April and May when two of its\u00a0$60 million fighter jets<\/a>\u00a0fell into the Red Sea during evasive maneuvers to avoid incoming attacks from the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s commitment to maintaining multiple aircraft carriers in the region comes as tensions continue to escalate on the fourth day of missile exchanges between Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n
