Newsweek: Third carrier on its way to region.

Newsweek.

But the fact remains that the longstanding war of words between Washington
and Tehran is edging toward something more dangerous. A second Navy carrier
group is steaming toward the Persian Gulf, and NEWSWEEK has learned that a third carrier will likely follow. Iran shot off a few missiles in those same tense
waters last week, in a highly publicized test. With Americans and Iranians
jousting on the chaotic battleground of Iraq, the chances of a small incident's
spiraling into a crisis are higher than they've been in years.
