The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is heading to the Middle East, where two other U.S. aircraft carriers are deployed amid the war with Iran, the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes reported.
The newspaper said the carrier left Singapore on Sunday and crossed the Strait of Malacca toward the region, citing ship trackers.

The carrier's movement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump meets Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the main mediator in efforts to end the war, while Trump continues to leave open the possibility of military strikes.
Trump said a new military operation against Iran did not appear necessary at present, noting that another aircraft carrier was en route to the region.
