No. It is that they are using the carrier to fight a fight out wasn’t designed for. Any sustained use of an aircraft carrier needs resupply, this was the case even in World War II.
The Navy had several wargames where it was obvious that carrier operations against Iran would be far more difficult than most other nations. If anything, I’m surprised the carrier hasn’t been sunk yet.
So it’s all theater then.

Yeah, it’s pretty much on the opposite side of the planet and the Indian Ocean area isn’t probably too friendly to the US.
It is more that the operations have to occur in or near the Persian Gulf. That doesn’t give a carrier that much room to maneuver.
There are friendly nations nearby that host US bases, but they are also being targeted.
