They are parallel components of a broader US strategy to degrade Iranian military power."
"The deployment of additional US military assets (Patriot systems and aircraft carrier) to the Middle East and the imposition of sanctions on Iranian weapons procurement are concurrent measures reflecting the US's dual-track approach of military deterrence and economic pressure regarding the Iran conflict."
