Ezekiel 38 will come

The story about the US carrier leaving the region was covered in Al-Mayadeen media, which is pro-Iran, showing that pro-Iran figures in the region are watching.
Iran's Alborz warship has passed through the Bab al-Mandab Strait and entered the Red Sea, the country's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Monday.
Iranian warships have been operating in the region "to secure shipping lanes since 2009," Tasnim said.
Iranian-backed groups have not reduced their attacks in the Middle East. On the opposite, pro-Iranian media sought to highlight how the attacks are increasing. Al-Mayadeen media, which is pro-Iran, claimed that there were attacks targeting Al-Asad based in Iraq and Shaddadi in Syria, two places where US forces are located. The US is in Syria and Iraq to help defeat ISIS.
Reports on December 31 that the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier is heading out of the Mediterranean is also raising eyebrows in Iran and the region. While Gaza fighting appears to be reduced slightly, Iran continues to want to manage the conflict against Israel. Towards that end, Iranian Tasnim ran a long interview about the role of Qasem Soleimani in the region. Although the interview is ostensibly about Soleimani, who was killed in January 2020 by the US, the report examines recent details about the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen targeting ships and Palestinian terror groups targeting Israel.

Aircraft carriers operating in the region The article details questions about US aircraft carriers in the region. There were two carriers in the region, the Eisenhower and Ford.
The Iranian regime's view is that these naval assets have not been able to prevent the Houthis in Yemen from continuing attacks on ships. However, a US helicopter destroyed three small Houthi boats over the weekend, indicating that the Houthis are taking losses. The story about the US carrier leaving the region was covered in Al-Mayadeen media, which is pro-Iran, showing that pro-Iran figures in the region are watching this development closely.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry has stressed that the recent killing of IRGC officer Razi Mousavi in Syria is not a setback for Iran. The opposite appears to be true since Iran’s regime has had a huge outpouring of funeral events for the late IRGC officer who was killed in an airstrike. Iran has blamed Israel. Iran’s foreign ministry is spinning this as being an incident that won’t stop Iran’s projects in the region. The Iranian foreign ministry also stressed that Iran-Egypt ties are improving. This could have negative implications because Iran backs Hamas in Gaza, which borders Egypt.
The American carrier Eisenhour departed the Mediterranean Sea sending a certain signal that the Iranian led war by Hamas on Israel is over.
Meanwhile, Qasem Soleimani is still dead and Razi Mousavi joined him in martyrdom.
Man....I TOTALLY DISAGREE with you!!! This seems like a TOTAL BOW to let IRAN do as they please!!! Don’t forget. the DEMOCRATS, i.e. Obama and Biden et al are on IRAN’S side!!
the Fords deployment had already been extended for this mess they had to relieve them sometime I’m sure a replacement will be departing soon
What do bubbleheads call surface ships?
😉
DC will have one carrier left in the ME. It is sitting in the Gulf of Aden. It appears the Pentagon is hedging its bets on where it will be needed most. Positioned where it is, it can quickly steam to the Persian Gulf or start up the Red Sea heading to the Mediterranean. It can’t be in both spots at once (three if it takes a carrier to deal with Houthis). Is this the cut or the run for walk away Joe?
Fair game my friends. Like Ukraine. The ship would not be there if Trump were in charge. They could fire warning shots across the bow. Next time the ship could end up like Solimani or the Iranians killed in Syria. Biden won’t do it.
No...It’s taking away a target....and the right move. We are NOT at war...
The aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower and its carrier strike group transited the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday and entered the Persian Gulf...

As far as I know it’s still there.
Yep...... I got it wrong.
There are only two (2) types of ships in the World Navies . . . Submarines and Targets!
🙏watching and waiting!
🛐🙏✝️
Are you serious? We ARE AT WAR....IN SEVERAL PLACES...AND WE GIVE MONEY TO BOTH SIDES!
Targets.
“Don’t forget. the DEMOCRATS, i.e. Obama and Biden et al are on IRAN’S side!!”
Also don’t forget that it was a DemonRat, Jimmy Carter, that put the current Iranian regime in power. Before that, Iran was a staunch U.S. ally.
It will blow up real good.
Agree. This looks like the US is running away, whatever the real reason.
