U.S.: Carrier Groups Converging in the Middle East?
www.stratfor.com

Summary

The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is on the move in the
Atlantic Ocean, possibly headed for the Mediterranean Sea. The Roosevelt's
movements could lead to the convergence of three U.S. carrier battle groups
in the Middle East, where tensions are escalating over Syrian involvement in
Lebanon and Iranian statements about its nuclear program. With three carrier
battle groups in the region, the United States would send a strong message
and give leaders in Tehran and Damascus more to think about.

Sounds like a steady stream of overflights might be the next order of business. Whether any ordnance is involved, is largely up to the behavior of the Syrians at the moment.
