US Carrier Pulling Back From Iran Operations To Crete Port After Suffering Fire
America's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is pulling away from the Middle East region as it nears a record-long deployment and after it suffered a major fire which damaged living quarters and other areas.

It is planning to temporarily pull back into Crete in the southern Mediterranean, and hopefully outside the reach of Iran's feared long-range ballistic missiles. The Ford had already docked there in late February after being called from Caribbean operations into the CENTCOM region of responsibility.

The third-order effect could be a deterioration in consumer sentiment amid higher energy costs, rising inflation fears, and broader economic/geopolitical uncertainty.
The transmission of the energy shock to consumers appears to have materialized just 12 days into Operation Epic Fury, according to executives at Volkswagen and Volvo Car, who report that consumer sentiment has already softened.
"We are already seeing customer sentiment decline in many markets," Volkswagen Head of Sales Martin Sander told an industry event in London earlier on Thursday. "Consumers were already facing a great deal of uncertainty, and this is now, of course, adding another layer of anxiety...
