央视记者15日获悉，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，同时将在该地区部署更多的导弹防御系统。
美军方消息人士表示，预计未来几天和数周内，美国将向中东地区增加陆海空军事力量，为美国总统特朗普“在决定对伊朗发动打击时提供多项军事选择”。
据悉，尚不清楚增派的航母是目前在亚洲的“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号，还是本周早些时候驶离美国弗吉尼亚州诺福克和加利福尼亚州圣迭戈的两艘航母之一。预计航母部署到位至少需要一周时间。
消息人士还称，美国计划向中东增派导弹防御系统，以加强对美国军事基地及以色列的防御能力。五角大楼暂未就相关部署作出公开回应。
白宫新闻秘书莱维特15日在新闻发布会上表示，特朗普及其团队正在密切关注伊朗局势，“所有选项都摆在总统面前”。
14日，据相关消息人士的话，特朗普向其国家安全团队表示，他希望任何对伊朗的军事行动均为“快速、决定性打击”，而不是拖延数周或数月的战争。（央视记者 刘骁骞）
