Hyderabad: John Bolton, the hawkish NSA of the United States sends an unequivocal warning to Iran on the eve of deploying an aircraft carrier in the Middle East.
US is deploying USS Abraham Lincon Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region. Central Command region includes the Middle East.
While deploying a naval ship like an aircraft carrier is not very unusual, what comes as a great surprise is that the United States NSA issues a statement on that, and more surprisingly names Iran in threatning language' ... to send a clear and unmistakable message to Iranian regime that any attacks on US interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force'.
Bolton said the move was in response to "a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings". But surprisingly again he did not provide any details.
This stern warning raises questions on whether the US anticipates any threat from Iran's side to the US interests. Some see in Bolton naming Iran a clear sign of provocation.

It is common Knowledge that Bolton is too hawkish on Iran and would be all too happy to see a regime change there. President Trump's sudden decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and subsequent imposition of sanctions were pressures enough. To mount more pressure the US warned countries importing oil from Iran. Now the deployment of an aircraft carrier and the issuance of a stern warning to Iran raises questions as to the ultimate plan of the US in the Iran matter.
