The move comes as the U.S. continues its naval blockade of Iranian ports and maintains that the operation can be sustained through rotating military forces.
With tensions rising, Tehran is also stepping up efforts to strengthen its missile capabilities. Iran is reportedly focusing on expanding its missile stockpile while spreading launch systems across different locations, making it more difficult for a single attack to cripple a large part of its arsenal.
Reports indicate that Iran has rebuilt portions of its missile inventory following earlier U.S.-Israeli strikes. Tehran continues to view its ballistic-missile program as a crucial part of its military deterrence and ability to respond to attacks.
By dispersing missile launch capabilities, Iran could make its forces harder to detect and destroy. Such a strategy could allow Tehran to preserve part of its retaliatory capability even if it comes under prolonged airstrikes and missile attacks.
The U.S. carrier movement has officially been described as a planned rotation rather than an emergency deployment. However, its timing comes amid growing pressure on Iran, with the Pentagon saying the naval blockade can continue for an extended period.
For Tehran, the priority appears clear: prepare for another confrontation before it starts and ensure enough of its missile forces survive any initial attack.
