The US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest of its kind in the world, has arrived on Israel’s northern coast as part of continued US military buildup in the region.
US President Donald Trump had ordered a strike carrier group to head to the Middle East this month while considering possible military action against Iran over its nuclear program.
The carrier departed the Greek island of Crete after a refueling stop at a US naval base and is now en route to the Haifa area.
