amid reports suggesting these carriers, namely USS Carl Vinson, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and USS Abraham Lincoln, might be heading towards Iran.

This movement is part of broader strategic military positioning in the region, possibly in response to heightened tensions involving Iran and its allies, like the Houthis in Yemen.

No official statement has confirmed Iran as the specific target, but the deployment signals an increase in military readiness.

Not good! Crap can go south very quickly like this. The Iranians proved what they could do last fall. It’s a bad mistake forcing this. The Iranians were begging for peace.

What can they do ? If they have ANY radars left, they will be taken out the first night.

Everyone here knows more about this than I, but how long does it take those three US ships to reach the area of friction in the Middle East? Guess it also depends on the location of each one now.

You can stop with the enemy propaganda, Iran can do nothing. Go Back and read about Iran and Praying Mantis in the 80’s

What I just heard was a Boss Music soundtrack starting up.

“The Iranians proved what they could do last fall”

You mean get all their air defenses slammed by an American proxy power?

If all this is true, Iran will have all their ports, airfields, missile sites, IRG HQ, and communications gone by the time I make coffee tomorrow.

And all that uranium will belong to us and the mullahs will be in hiding, fearing any trees or lampposts.

Russia will not only lose an ally, but gain an enemy.

Iran has next to nothing compared to the USA. Maybe It’s high time we had this out.

Iran won’t know what hit them. Dumb@$$ed ayatollah sh+tting bricks as we speak begging Putin, the CCP, Soros….anybody to stop the Trump Man!
Offense is the best defense. Obviously, Trump and Israel found out Iran planning a major hit-emphasis on “was.”

Not Trump. He will whack them hard and walk away. Let them rebuild their own country.

Yes. It’s past time we knock out their nuclear weapons capability... and thoroughly!

We are the only ones who can, at a reasonable cost. Israel could as well, but their cost to do so would likely be prohibitive.

Bringing Iran to heal would be one step further in the desirable goal of “Islam delenda est”.

Israel can’t. They put their most serious sites under mountains. The best Israel can do is block the entrance. Only we have the MOABs that can turn mountains into ravines.
