The U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, deployed by President Donald

Trump's administration to the Middle East as a warning to Iran, passed

through Egypt's Suez Canal on Thursday, the Suez Canal Authority said.

The deployment of the carrier strike group is meant to show the United

States will retaliate with "unrelenting force" to any attack, national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday.

Iran has dismissed announcement of a U.S. aircraft carrierdeployment as old news, recycled for psychological warfare.
