Isn't that common? Carrier groups are always moving in and out of the area.
Remember in 2014 when ISIS was poised to take over Sinjar and eventually Iraqi Kurdistan?
Obama launched a "surprise" attack from the Arabian Sea, using F-18s based on USS George H.W. Bush.

He didn't move the carrier from the US, it was already there.
Edit:
I was right.

According to the Navy’s official website, the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group had departed Norfolk, Va., on April 1 for what was described as “as a regularly scheduled deployment.” Rear Adm. John Wade is commander of the carrier strike group.
