An American submarine from the Ohio class — the largest in the U.S. Navy — has arrived at the Strait of Gibraltar, most likely on its way to the Middle East. This was confirmed by the Pentagon, which reported that the submarine arrived in the area yesterday. "This demonstrates the capability, flexibility and continued commitment of the United States to its NATO allies," a statement from the U.S. military said. The Pentagon's announcement was published against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's response to the Iranian proposal, which he called "a piece of junk" and "stupid."
