In late 2020, the Pentagon ramped up aerial and naval deployments around Iran amid military tensions in the Persian Gulf. The new deployments began in late November 2020 and continued through 2022. They included several flights of B-52 or B-1 bombers, a nuclear-powered submarine and a carrier strike group led by the USS Nimitz. President Donald Trump also threatened Iran after the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was hit by rockets allegedly fired by an Iraqi militia backed by Iran on Dec. 20, 2020. “We hear chatter of additional attacks against Americans in Iraq,” Trump tweeted on Dec. 23, 2020. “If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible.

Who knows? With the maniacs in Tehran and DC, anything could happen.
Chomo Joe’s has taken bribes from all those nations. He won’t authorize a thing against them that benefits those countries.
Thanks for the link.
A shame we don’t have Bagram Air Base to launch from, demo-commies.
Iran knows they’re very existence is hanging by a thread compared to ours. That being said, bring back Trump less wars.
In the last four days Blinken has visited every one of these Gulf States. I figure the Vinson is heading for the Gulf. It has the feel of a Bushite neocon misadventure.
The Ford, the Eisenhower, and now the Vinson groups?
Thanks hardspunned .
