The US Navy has announced that nuclear submarines have sailed in the waters from the Strait of Hormuz to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East.
It is unusual to publicize the actions of submarines, and some say that they are aiming for restraint in response to heightened tensions with Iran.
The US Navy announced on the 21st that the nuclear-powered submarine "Georgia" sailed in the waters from the Strait of Hormuz to the Persian Gulf.
It is unusual for the US military to publicize the actions of nuclear submarines, but the announcement states that "it shows that the United States has all the capabilities to quickly defend against any threat."
In this regard, CNN TV said a senior U.S. government official said that some attacks by Iran were a concern as the U.S. military killed Iran's Revolutionary Guard Commander Soleimani in January. It is said that it has been done.
Since last month, the US military has revealed the activities of aircraft carriers and bombers around the Persian Gulf one after another, and it is said that this announcement is aimed at restraint due to heightened tension with Iran.
