US CENTCOM’s ‘Big update’! This US Aircraft carrier leads US blockade operations in Arabian sea

The US Central Command has highlighted the role of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the ongoing US blockade operations in the Arabian Sea. In a post on X on Friday, CENTCOM said, "USS Abraham Lincoln conducts US blockade operations in the Arabian Sea, April 16." The post mentioned the features of the aircraft carrier, stating, "The ship's embarked carrier air wing includes eight F-35C stealth fighters, F/A-18 fighter jets, EA-18G electronic attack aircraft, E-2D command and control planes, MH-60 helicopters and CMV-22B Ospreys for logistics support."The US blockade comes amid the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. The deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) operating in the Arabian Sea highlights the scale of the US naval presence in the Iranian waters amid escalating tensions. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that US forces are actively enforcing a large-scale maritime blockade targeting Iran's ports and coastline, involving more than 10,000 personnel, over a dozen naval vessels, and upwards of 100 aircraft. Earlier on Thursday, the United States categorically said that its naval blockade in West Asia applies to Iranian ports and coastline and is not a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.The remarks were made by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, while speaking to the media.Gen Caine underlined that the blockade applies to all ships- irrespective of their nationalities. In another update, CENTCOM added, "Sailors aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Delbert D Black stand watch as US forces remain vigilant and enforce the blockade against ships attempting to enter or depart Iranian ports and coastal areas."The USS Delbert D Black is among the warships tasked with monitoring and intercepting vessels in the vicinity of Iranian waters.
