Bombs and missiles on an American aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran The Wall Street Journal published footage of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which is in the Gulf of Aden near Iran. The framework included newly delivered bombs and missiles: GBU-10/16, AGM-154 JSOW, AGM-84K SLAM-ER, as well as GBU-31 and GBU-31/BLU-109. Almost all of these munitions are designed to destroy buried targets. Given that the aircraft carrier is located near Iran, this directly implies a resumption of combat missions.
