Really hard to say, but I can't imagine Israel waiting much longer before launching a preemptive raid on Iranian nuke sites. Might be connected to that. That would be consistent with one carrier task force headed to the Mediterranean where it could blunt any Syrian response against Israel for the raid.

Three carrier battle groups are converging on the Persian Gulf.
For what it's worth, (one mans opinion freely given and worth almost that much)
This is sending a VERY STRONG message to the mullahs in Tehran that we are "very displeased" with them. It may also be an attempt to support and put teeth into the negotiations that the EU is having with Iran. Does it mean we are going to attack Iran at this time? I doubt it, to early in the game.
