Pentagon Confirms USS Alaska Nuclear Submarine Arrival in Mediterranean

The Pentagon has officially confirmed the arrival of the USS Alaska, a nuclear missile-carrying submarine, which passed through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. American media outlets are linking the rare public disclosure of the submarine's deployment to Trump's recent statement calling Iran's response to a proposal "completely unacceptable." Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that Trump is issuing an implicit nuclear threat against Iran, apparently referring to the USS Alaska's appearance.
