USS Gerald R. Ford leaves Crete as Iran talks begin: AFP

SOUDA, Greece: The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, sent to the Mediterranean this week in a military build-up to put pressure on Iran, left a naval base in Crete Thursday, an AFP photographer said. Its departure came as a new round of indirect talks between the United States and Iran on the latter’s nuclear program, mediated by Oman’s foreign minister, opened in Geneva Thursday morning. The vessel has been at the US Naval Support Activity Souda Bay base in Crete since Monday.
