BRUSSELS (AP) — The Latest on the crisis surrounding Iran's decision to step away from the embattled nuclear deal with world powers (all times local):
2:20 p.m.

The head of Egypt's port authority says the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has passed through the Suez Canal on its way to the Persian Gulf amid an escalation with Iran.

The state MENA news agency quoted Mohab Mameesh, the Suez Canal authority chief, as saying he observed the passage of the carrier through the canal on Thursday morning.

MENA says the director also met the U.S. defense attache in Cairo, Gen. Ralph Groover, who had travelled to the Suez Canal area to check on the status of the U.S. warship.
The White House on Sunday dispatched the aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf. On Wednesday, Rouhani threatened Iran could start to enrich its uranium stockpile closer to weapons-grade levels in two months.

Interesting wording.

The US tear up the agreement, and step away from it.

Now Iran gives two month for the non-USA signatures to comply with the agreement.

But as it looks like the EU bow to the US ,and doesn't honour it as well.

But what is the hyperventilation from the USA side with all of this carrier deployment and so on?
What they expected ? They walk away from the agreement, forcing everyone to do the same ,and Iran will comply with it ?

and....

The American government wants to escalate.

The USN has been operating aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf region since 1980 usually on a rotational basis.
