The U.S. Department of Defense, also known as the Pentagon, has decided to end the deployment of two aircraft carriers in the Middle East and return them to their base. This decision follows the recent enhancement of the U.S. military presence in the region to protect Israel from potential Iranian attacks. 

According to Associated Press reports, American officials have stated that the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and the destroyer USS Daniel Inouye have arrived in the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, the destroyer USS Russell has already departed the Middle East and is now operating in the South China Sea. Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln will remain in the Gulf of Oman, where it arrived three weeks ago.
