Force concentration in the Gulf just hit a 23-year high.

Assets confirmed:

USS Gerald Ford, Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln carrier groups

15+ additional destroyers and support vessels

Multiple Air Force heavy lift aircraft in transit

This is the largest US naval presence in the region since the Iraq invasion buildup.

Context matters: this many hulls don't accidentally converge. It's either the prelude to action or the most expensive negotiation tactic in history.

Iran negotiations continue. So does the math on what happens if they don't.
