The world’s largest U.S. aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, was spotted entering the Mediterranean Sea on Friday amid an intensified military presence ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump, signaling the possibility of a strike against Iran.

Agence France-Presse released a photo of the vessel as it passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean, captured from Gibraltar.
Trump announced on Friday that he is “considering” a limited strike against Iran if talks between Washington and Tehran fail to reach an agreement on its nuclear program.
When asked by a journalist whether he is seriously considering military action should negotiations falter, Trump said, “The most I can say is that I am considering it.”
It is worth noting that the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed in the Middle East since the end of January.
