The carrier, America's newest and the world's largest, is currently located in the Red Sea. It is expected to temporarily go to Souda Bay on the Greek island of Crete, the two officials said.

The March 4 incident in the Indian Ocean marked the first time an American submarine had torpedoed an enemy vessel since the last days of World War II.

In the wake of the Cold War, there was a sense that warfare might shift toward smaller joint operations of all forces, known as "littoral operations."

The force, which may not necessarily be involved in ground combat operations in Iran, includes a squadron of F‑35 fighter jets and tiltrotor MV‑22 Osprey aircraft.

The status of the Iranian ship and its crew is not currently known, CBS added.

The building had originally been a part of the adjacent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base, though officials told the NYT that it isn’t clear when the two had separated.

The Pentagon said earlier on Tuesday that it was striking Iranian mine-laying vessels and ​mine storage facilities.

Iran’s Revayat-e Fath institute's propaganda video uses Lego models to blame Israel and the US for the Minab strike and shows "retaliatory" attacks on Cyprus, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iraq.

Iran’s naval mine stock isn’t known, though according to CBS, estimates have ranged from 2,000 to 6,000 units.

The United States is the only military currently taking part in the Iran war to have Tomahawks in its arsenal, which would rule out an Israeli strike or Iranian misfire, if the footage is accurate.
