Washington, Jan 5 (TIWN) The Pentagon said that US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz would remain in the Middle East waters due to "threats from Iran", reversing a previous decision to order the warship to return home.
“Due to the recent threats issued by Iranian leaders against President (Donald) Trump and other US government officials, I have ordered the USS Nimitz to halt its routine redeployment,” Xinhua news agency quoted Acting Defence Secretary Chris Miller as saying in a statement late Sunday night.
