The US Navy notified the families of sailors from the aircraft carrier George W. Bush for extending their deployment.
Acting US Navy Secretary Hang Kao told the families of the crew members of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George W. Bush, who is currently stationed in Iran, because their loved ones will not be able to return home for the holidays. According to the official, if the US does not stop Iran now, Tehran will soon have too many cruise missiles and drones, and will become a "nuclear-armed Iran".
Navy officials advised families to be prepared for a possible stay of the ship at sea.
