The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt will leave the Middle East, after being stationed in the region for fear of an Iranian reaction after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, according to U.S. officials, who said that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin gave the order. The officials said that, in addition to the aircraft carrier, the U.S. destroyer will also leave the area and "return home." The decision was made following the prolongation of the war in Gaza, which has been going on for 11 months, AP reported.
