“Fox News confirms through ‘well-placed’ US military sources that at least one aircraft carrier in motion toward Middle East”
Taget herfra
At least one U.S. aircraft carrier is being moved toward the Middle East as tensions with Iran continue to build, military sources confirm to Fox News.
It is not yet clear whether the carrier is the USS Abraham Lincoln, currently operating in the South China Sea, or one of two carriers that departed Norfolk and San Diego earlier this week. Transit to the region is expected to take at least a week.
U.S. military assets from air, land and sea are expected to flow into the region in the coming days and weeks to provide the president with military options should he decide to carry out strikes against Iran, sources said.

The movements are part of what officials described as a process of “setting the force.”
One well-placed source said if the president decides to carry out military action, “This will be different, more offensive.” The source said U.S. military planners are preparing a range of options that would depend on how Iran’s regime acts in coming days.
U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News there are currently about 30,000 U.S. troops assigned to the U.S. Central Command region. There are no U.S. aircraft carriers or carrier strike groups operating in the CENTCOM area at this time.

The current U.S. naval presence in the region includes three destroyers and three Littoral Combat Ships. Three U.S. aircraft carriers are currently deployed elsewhere, officials said: The USS George Washington in Yokosuka, Japan; USS Abraham Lincoln in the INDOPACOM area; and USS Gerald R. Ford in the SOUTHCOM area.
Two additional carriers near Norfolk and San Diego are not actively deployed.
Missile defense systems are also expected to be sent to the region to bolster the defense of U.S. bases and Israel. The systems would include missile defense assets, according to sources.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Jeg er bange for at Trump/USA kommer for sent til bussen – at det er lykkedes mullah-regimet at drukne oprøret i blod 🙁
Se f.eks. her
At tro på hvad mullaherne siger at rent vanvid, og det MÅ Trump vide
Det iranske oprør synes at være i tilbagegang – man kan ikke bebrejde iranerne at de ikke går på gaden , når de ved at regimet bare pløkke dem ned
Der er vildt forskel på tabtal – nogle siger 20000 andre 3500.
Selv om vi tager det mindste tal, er det mange, 1000 flere end 11.9.2001 i USA !
Hvis det virkelig er korrekt at det vil tage 1-2 uger at flytte et hangarskib til Iran, er det alt for længe. Trump har da haft tid nok til at flytte 1-2 hangarskibe …
USA MÅ gøre noget alvorligt før, hvis oprøret ikke skal dø ud
Men måske er det Trumps måde at lulle mullaherne i søvn – det virkede jo før
Men det irriterer mig at høre den papir-general snakke om at det er godt at FN er involveret – mage til vås skal man da lede længe efter 🙁
Hvis Trump/USA ikke udnytter denne kæmpe chance for at vælte mullah-regimet, vil iranerne aldrig mere turde gøre oprør – og Trump har lovet at hjælpen er undervejs …
Lad os håbe at den “hjælp” er mere end ord og MAGA-kasketter :

Shakespeare skrev et skuespil der hed: ‘much a do about nothing’. Tror jeg det hed.
Det handlede om mænds iver efter kvindekønnet. Politik i USA kører stadigvæk efter den drejebog, trods det faktum at de fleste er kommet lidt videre i deres forståelse.
