No...It’s taking away a target....and the right move.

This seems right to me.

"The American carrier Eisenhour [sic] departed the Mediterranean Sea sending a certain signal that the Iranian led war by Hamas on Israel is over."

Hardly. It means we war-gamed and found that CVN-69 was vulnerable to an all-in Iranian-coordinated decapitation attack, and probably such an attack was fomenting.

Disagree. Iran is not going for all out war with the US, yet.

"Iranian warships have been operating in the region "to secure shipping lanes since 2009," Tasnim said."

The Iranian navy is awesome.

Couple billion dollars of warships aren’t used (or even worthless) to defeat Iran backed Hou-this sand rats. China taking lots of notes.

Maybe? But to have two of them sitting there invites disaster, if not decap a USS Cole, if not a USS Cole a Farsi Island.

Not in the Red Sea. Check out the water clarity and depth.

Subs have an extremely hard time operating in the Red Sea.

"Don't forget. the DEMOCRATS, i.e. Obama and Biden et al are on IRAN'S side!"

That sure sounds crazy when someone puts it down on paper, but the truth really is stranger than fiction nowadays.. :(
