Washington Hosts Urgent Talks as Regional Powers Weigh Options on Iran

 

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers have crossed into the Middle East region.


Senior officials from Saudi Arabia and Israel traveled to Washington this week for high‑level discussions with U.S. leaders, reflecting growing concern over the possibility of military action against Iran.
