Iran Moving Ballistic Missiles by Boat, U.S. Officials Say
(CNN) Barbara Starr - Intelligence showing that Iran is likely moving short-range ballistic missiles aboard boats in the Persian Gulf was one of the critical reasons the U.S. decided to move an aircraft carrier strike group and B-52 bombers into the region, according to several U.S. officials. On Tuesday, U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Bill Urban said they had seen "indications that Iranian and Iranian proxy forces were making preparations to possibly attack U.S. forces in the region."
