If I was the Iranian mullahs right now, I'd be shitting bricks... They're literally surrounded. No place untouchable.

Does anyone have the feeling that all this posturing is to surround Israel instead of iran

A bunch of people are about to have a FAFO moment.

Not sure where the USS George Bush may be headed. Last ping had it in the Atlantic after leaving Norfolk. They say it is conducting training exercises and final certifications prior to active deployment after being in port for scheduled maintenance. Some Naval reports are saying it will be deployed to the Mediterranean. I would say either there or the Caribbean. We usually like to maintain a carrier group off of each coast.

We have several carriers currently either in maintenance or RCOH. Many of our active carriers have been on extended deployments mostly due to the others being delayed in returning to active deployment. God bless those crews.

Not sure exactly where the Ford currently is. Some reports have it around the ME near the Lincoln, while others have it in the Mediterranean close to Israel. We shall see.

They’ve also been shifting around ground forces with little warning as well. A reported full withdrawal from Syria occurred the other day with little warning. And Embassies and other U.S Political and Business facilities in the region have been evacuating non-essential personnel and doubling Security Contractors.

Schumer also about shit himself the other day after getting a briefing on Iran. Didn’t even take the obligatory dig at Trump. He just said “This is serious and it’s something the administration will need to convince the American people of.”
