As AP reports, Navy officials confirm that the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is headed to Yemeni waters to intercept an Iranian weapons shipments. Just as we warned 10 days ago, the probability of a major escalation over the latest proxy Middle Eastern civil war escalated substantially when Iran parked two warships off the Yemeni coast.

Who knows what anti-ship weapons the Iranians have.
This should not be taken lightly.

Egyptian, Iranian and now US warships in close proximity. Iran believing the US is the ultimate paper tiger, Egypt and the Saudis not believing we'll support them. Based on their enemies ability to back us down throughout the Mideast and northern Africa. One miscalculation you've got a shooting war, hopefully localized. Which might have been avoided had the US presented a more robust face to Iran, and stood by our allies.

Hope they have better luck with this than with Somoli pirates.

I’m looking for a ship to be sunk...a kind of “remember the Maine” provocation...then the war with Iran will be on. I wonder what Obama is willing to do if one of our ships is sunk...the Iranians may have some of those Chinese Sunburn antiship missiles...!

Well, Shep Smith just announced the same moves. And we’ve had “confirmation” from Marie Barf!

I must admit that I really like the Zerohedge website.
But, you are correct in your expression of caution.
