Amid escalating tensions with Iran, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group has entered the CENTCOM area of responsibility in the Indian Ocean. This deployment follows reports that Iran's Supreme Leader has gone underground, fueling speculation of potential military action. Experts warn that Iran's drone capabilities pose a significant threat to U.S. naval assets, potentially overwhelming defenses with saturation attacks. The U.S. is reinforcing its military presence in the region by air, land, and sea, deploying fighter jets and heavy equipment. While the U.S. and its allies are developing countermeasures, concerns remain about the effectiveness of current defenses against large-scale drone attacks.
