Fascinating timing on this with all the regional tensions escalating. The IRGC has been getting more aggressive with these kinda provocations lately, especially after teh Hormuz incidents last month. USS Abraham Lincoln's warning is pretty standard deterrence posturing but it does signal how seriously DC is taking this. I wonder if this ties into the broader negotiation dynamics or if its just tactical opportunism from Tehran.
