The war drums are sounding across the Middle East tonight. The United States has officially deployed a third massive aircraft carrier strike group, forming an iron ring of over twenty thousand combat troops around the Iranian coastline. With the arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, President Donald Trump has delivered an unmistakable ultimatum to Tehran: make a deal now, or face attacks that will cripple Iran's military infrastructure.
In this full 3-minute special defense broadcast from Apex US Wire, Lead Anchor Khokon Vance, Senior Analyst Carter Reid, War Correspondent Steve Harrigan live from the Persian Gulf, and Defense Correspondent Marcus Vance outside the Pentagon deliver an exhaustive, unfiltered investigation into the carrier encirclement, IRGC "Apocalyptic War" threats, and the direct impact on American gas prices and taxpayer dollars.
