U.S. Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff along with Jared Kushner and Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), visited the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea on a scheduled deployment Saturday. The visit comes amid tensions with Iran as Witkoff said the service members were "keeping us safe and upholding President Trump’s message of peace through strength," and a day after the U.S. and Iran held talks in Oman to discuss Iran’s nuclear program."We thanked the sailors and Marines, observed live flight operations, and spoke with the pilot who downed an Iranian drone that approached the carrier without clear intent," Witkoff wrote on X. "Proud to stand with the men and women who defend our interests, deter our adversaries, and show the world what American readiness and resolve look like, on watch every day." The aircraft carrier left San Diego in November for the Indo-Pacific region and moved to the Middle East in January.
