Although, it isn’t necessary for ships to pass through Texas to get to the Panama Canal.
Heads up....Iranian ships are boxed in by our guys!
Over the weekend there has been a reshuffling of our US naval assets in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
As a result of these movements the US Navy has now moved the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and four other warships into place at the southern end of the Suez Canal opposite the Iranian Navy’s 12th Flotilla Kharg cruiser and Alvand missile destroyer.
The Iranians now find themselves cheek to jowl with a major concentration of America naval might piling up in the Red Sea and Suez. Understandably, they were not sure what would happen if they went forward with their mission to transit the Suez Canal, for the Mediterranean, for the first time in 30 years on their way to Syria.
While this little drama was playing out over the weekend, two more aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and the USS Carl Vinson, were redeployed to the Gulf of Aden, thereby also blocking the entrance to the Red Sea. With both ends of the Red Sea now controlled by the US Navy, Iran is going to have to re-evaluate the mission of its 12th Flotilla.
