【环球网报道】美媒近日报道称，随着与伊朗紧张关系升级，美国正在向中东地区增派兵力，其中包括至少一艘航空母舰。《以色列时报》、以色列Ynet新闻网等媒体当地时间26日援引美联社报道称，也门胡塞武装发布一段视频威胁称，将对通过红海航道的船只发动袭击。美联社分析称，此举很可能意在声援伊朗。
美联社称，胡塞武装发布的一段短视频包含了此前曾公布过的船只起火画面，配文仅写道，“很快”，未作进一步说明。
报道同时提到，胡塞武装发出威胁之际，美军“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰打击群正驶向中东地区。
此前，以色列方面消息称，“林肯”号航母已进入美国中央司令部辖区。不过，一位美国高级官员当地时间25日深夜称，美军“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰打击群“尚未进入美国中央司令部责任区”。
美军连日来持续向中东地区增兵，媒体26日援引相关数据显示，美军正从世界多地向中东调集空军力量；伊朗方面则警告，任何攻击都将被视作“对伊朗的全面战争”。
