What happened
President Donald Trump initiated a war against Iran in February 2026. The conflict, which he had stated would last four to five weeks, entered its sixth month in July 2026. Warnings issued by the administration indicated that the war might produce a harder-line Iranian leadership and that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters
The ongoing military action between the U.S. and Iran carries significant geopolitical risk. The deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln was linked to this conflict, which was underway when the ship was deployed in a combat zone.
