The U.S. is significantly ramping up its military presence in the Middle East amidst ongoing tensions with Iran. Recent reports indicate that the Pentagon is sending a third aircraft carrier, along with thousands of additional troops, including over 10,000 Marines and sailors. The USS Theodore Roosevelt, along with other naval assets, is set to deploy as part of this buildup. President Trump has indicated a potential for renewed military action against Iran, prompting a surge of forces in the region. As a result, oil prices have seen a notable increase due to the heightened geopolitical concerns.
