- The United States dispatched the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier together with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group from San Diego, California, and the force is expected to reach the Middle East by the end of November, adding roughly 10,000 personnel to the more than 50,000 troops already stationed there.
- The deployment, announced after President Donald Trump's post‑midterm election threats toward Iran, will see the Theodore Roosevelt replace an existing carrier in the area, while the USS George Washington and USS George H. W. Bush continue operations; the carrier had originally left for the region on 7 October 2023 and later returned to the United States for rotation.
