The Pentagon begins to relocate ships from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea

The Pentagon decided to send part of his warships standing in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Turkey to the Red Sea.

According to representatives of the American military department who wished to maintain anonymity, we are talking about several ships from the groups of two aircraft carriers - Theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman. According to the US military, the decision to redirect the aircraft carriers themselves has not yet been made, ITAR-TASS reports.

Nevertheless, the local press regarded this pentagon’s step as a signal that Washington’s patience about the Tuts of Turkey with the decision to allow the Americans to use their military bases and airspace for surgery against Iraq begins to dry out.

Among the relocated ships are several cruisers and destroyers equipped with cruise missiles, which are able to hit targets in Iraq, flying before this the territory of Saudi Arabia.
