The USS Roosevelt is expected in the Arabian Sea next week, according to an Israeli media report relayed by Dawn in its live blog on 13 November.
The same report says around 200 US aerial refuelling aircraft are deployed across the Middle East and Europe. It also says the USS George Washington and the USS George HW Bush are already in the region.
This fits with Gulf News's earlier report that the Roosevelt strike group was heading from the Indian Ocean towards the North Arabian Sea. Gulf News said its arrival would bring the number of US carrier groups in the area to three.
The Pentagon has not confirmed the refuelling aircraft figure or the carrier movements, and the claims have not been independently checked.
