In Advance Of Third Aircraft Carrier Approaching Iran, US Nuclear Sub And Destroyer Enter Red Sea
While a few days ago we reported that the US was set to place a third aircraft carrier, ostensibly the USS Enterprise, in the Arabian Gulf in the indefinite future, it appears that the US is wasting little time in making preparations for this latest military escalation against Iran. As RT reports, "two ships of the US Navy, the nuclear submarine USS Annapolis and the destroyer USS Momsen have passed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea. Although their destination is confidential, they are now getting dangerously close to the Persian Gulf. The ships’ passage was a major operation for the Suez administration as due to safety reasons they had to close off the canal to all other traffic and even shut down the bridge, disrupting the link between the banks for some four hours. The traffic on the roadways alongside the canal was also restricted, Interfax news agency reports." What's next: reports that Russian destroyers in Syria are also moving in the general direction of the Arabian Gulf?
More from RT:
There are no reports regarding the destination of the vessels, but the news come amid the ongoing crisis in the relationship between the US and Iran. There is mounting speculation that the Annapolis and the Momsen are heading to the Persian Gulf to reinforce the US naval forces already present in the region.
Currently the US has two aircraft carrier groups in the region headed by USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Carl Vinson. It is expected that another aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise, will join the strike force in March.
Since the EU placed a new round of sanctions on Iran by putting an embargo on Iranian oil, Iran is once again threatening to use military force to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, a Kuwaiti maritime official said on Monday that the Gulf Cooperation Council group of Arab countries have contingency plans for coastguards and naval forces should there be an attempt by Iran to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
When one reads of such developments, what can one think but: Nobel peace prize.

Worrying doesn't help. Time to head to the tunnels. The elite are likely to hit the US in a big way this time.
That one was for show. Subs accompany every carrier group, so there's lots of subs there now.
Five max, why take three of your highest value naval assets (carriers) and stick them in a bathtub, instead of a lake, even if they take out three carriers in the first wave the US can level irans military sites and with just the subs nuke and conventional tomahawks, at least 2 nukes are on each attack sub.
Why fight your opponent on their terms, iran has already chosen the terrain and picked its weapons, its just waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Im guessing it will be sooner rather than later every day the west has to find alternative fuel supplies is a day that iran gets weaker.
Strike using conventional weapons then hide behind rus/chin protection and negotiate pref terms for iran as part of the outcome.
America saves face and china gets more oil and russia is happy with the increase in the price of crude.
Reacharounds all round.
Create the problem,
Manage the reaction,
Provide the solution,
Simples!
Chalky Hussein Soetero starts a war with Iran to bolster his sagging reelection prospects and hopes the country rallies around their Prez. Look for late summer and the hostilities begin. This asshat will do or try anything to get reelected.

Worked for both bushes....and our maggie...,,, whats the problem?
Three aircraft carriers = three ring circus.
a corrupt government cannot fight a just war..R Paul is very right on this. If the congress really had to take responsiblity for wars ..many would never have been fought. So bomb bomb Iran the Nobel prize winner sings in the shower tonight.
+1. I am not sure why you got junked. The idea of the war powers act was that congress people would be too passive and uninformed of geopolitical events to accuratly assess the need for war. And would be biased to conserve the resources of their domestic constituents (blood and treasure)
... I am not sure the war powers act makes sense anymore ...
War is on the horizon. Depend on it.
And now the pieces for the game are coming together, so when does it start? This week? Or next week?
Web Bot technology (of which I am not associated with) is saying that something massive, even in comparison to 9/11 is coming in early March. By the end of June, the derivatives market will no longer exist...
My "guess" is that attack happens in early March with a surprise that has devastating consequences.
Do they have any theory on what exactly that might be? Or are they saying the war with Iran will start in March?
War with Iran meme has gotten a lot of play in the past. It went quite for a bit last year but came back up on the language analysis.
The thing that has me concerned is the data gap starting in March, which goes on for 13 months... it's as if the web goes quite (in terms of tension language), which has never happened before. One plausible theory is a massive corona ejection from the sun that frys the electrical grid for a year and we go back to pre 1880s without electricity on many parts of our planet.
So how much of this is real? Two months before the gulf oil disaster, the term "oil volcano" showed up in the language... no one could have known that it would have been the oil rig disaster, but it showed up and was a pretty good hit. The technology also noted falling towers and planes flying into buildings 90 days before 9/11.
So... what I watch for are the memes and new "words" that emerge. The analysis that is provided in the reports is "commentary" being provided by Clif High... and he is a bit of a quack pot... but this does not take away from the "language" that his technology surfaces. So... I am concerned.
It is impossible for us to escape the financial quagmine that we are in without a global reset of the financial system... which usually comes about through collapse or war.
NASA did say that the suns activity has been way up, Interesting thanks.
That web bot theory is interesting but usually wrong. I would watch it for entertainment value only. And Cliff High is something of a doppelganger of some unknown personage who materializes on various radio talk shows with fake names and different personas but always spouting doom amd gloom.
Clif and George Ure have been wrong in regard to timing and specifics many times...But in regard to the general trend. They've been calling it right..
But then again, anyone can predict the future if you look hard enough at the present...
So this car is headed for a cliff, many onlookers are there to describe said event and for some reason the supposed driver cannot see danger or if he does refuses to turn the car...Maybe he's busy working all the gears and levers in this car. (Must be a Rube Goldberg type)
Some observers are convinced the cliff is some desert mirage off in the distance and cheer for the car to go faster!
We all watch in utter horror as there seems to be nothing we can do to convince the driver of the danger...
Car just keeps going...Predictable outcome.
What is the car? Who is the driver?
In this case the car is The World's Economic/Political systems and seemingly, the driver has jumped out of the car while no one was looking...or let his drunk friend drive..
The driver? Oh he's been around for quite a while...We'll need to get this guy in whatever body he inhabits and kill it.....It might too late though, and most of us are still in the car...
A ten year old could get the general trend right. What do you need web bots for?
Exactly...and that's why I worry about my 10 year old...I think he's got it figured out too..
Isreal to strike Iran...
Does anyone have the odds on this..Oh wait!

USA and/or Israel to execute an overt Air Strike against Iran before midnight ET 31 Dec 201229.5% But that's Overt...and probably doesn't take into account FF provocation.
You want a date mid March moonless night...
Say NO to a war the US can not afford https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/say-no-war-we-can-ill-afford-no-war-iran/B78jr0xR
Hey flyme.
I kida,sorta,in a bit of a way,DON'T think the word"afford" should come into play here.
The way I see it,Iran can NOT "AFFORD" to "NOT HAVE" NUKE POWER,WITH THE LIKES OF THE USSA IMPERIALIST PIGS TRYING TO RULE THE WORLD.
It is 1967 and the USS Enterprise is the USS Liberty.
Obuma will be the first president of this century to use nukes..got dark sun glasses?
Syrian rebel prisoners, after being tortured by Asad's goons, are shown images of prankful American soldiers playing with prisoners in Abu Grab ! Monedas 2012 Known for his stunning indifference to Muslim on Muslim cruelty !
For the past three years I have been working in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabean Sea, Gulf of Oman, and Persian Gulf. We were either attacked or harrased by pirates a dozen times. Not once were we helped by the US Navy, even though our ship has mostly an American crew. We were helped by the navies of Turkey, Korea, China, and India. I never even saw a US Navy ship even though one night there were cruise missles lobbed over our heads into Yemen. The US Navy might as well head back to the Chesapeake, including the 5th Fleet. Most of the Persian Gulf oil goes to Europe and Asia. Let them worry about it.
It's mostly about israel and the NWO, oil and pirates not so much.
Whilst the USA has the undisputed supremacy of the land, sea and air it would be prudent to bear in mind that those who dig graves for others ususally fall into them themselves. Things go wrong even with the best of planning.
In my view, less than desirable regimes that feel insecure, pursue atomic weapons as a means of stopping the West from interfering for fear of unleashing a nuclear response.
The example of North Korea is prooof of how effective a nuclear aresenal is at keeping the USA at bay.
If bush had any balls NK would be toast.......
BTW Tyler, the suez canal is ALWAYS closed when US or British warships transit. Always has been.
so it wasnt 'a major operation'.......
If Iran is allowed to gain a Nuke the'll destabilize the region...
Wait - the ME is stable now?
First, they are not building nukes, they are building neclear power plants. Second, like Remus just wrote, the place is pretty fucked up already. Israel has nukes, the Pak has nukes, India has nukes, China is a mess, the House of Saud is a horrible regeme, Iraq and the Af have been leveled, what is stable?
Right you really believe that...LOL
Stability: Rogue state with apartheid racist ideology, aggressive territorial ambitions and nuclear monopoly...
Yep, that's the current status quo, and according to you, that's stability!
Well. At least we know the FOX channel comes in clear at your house.. Moron
Iran gets a nuke the'll use it if not out right then to terrorize their neighabors. They must NEVER be allowed to get a nuke.
They should name a sinking carrier the USS Bernanke
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to air lift all of Israel and drop it onto a large barge in the middle of the ocean?! I mean they could have their very own floating oasis for the chosen people!
Yep, that could be the plan, false flag attack on US carrier from US sub, blamed on Iran, makes perfect sense.
Three Carriers bottled up in the Gulf. Did we learn nothing on December 7, 1941?
USS Enterprise is an aging hulk. I cant think of a more perfect vessel for the next Gulf of Tonkin event. Turn the straights of Hormuz into a nuclear mess by skuttling the Enterprise and thereby saving decomissiong costs.
Make this viral to prevent false flag against USS Enterprise:

Oh great, the crazy bastards are going to do it all in the name of the allmighty dollar and NWO pipe dreams aren't they!
I'd like to offer an apology to the non-US members on the board. Please understand most of us living in the US would rather not do this but this entire country has been hijacked by the elite. We can scream all we want, but no one listens.
They'll forge ahead with what they want to do, regardless.
And now for some comical relief.........can't you picture the US getting hit with a couple nukes(or hitting itself with one) and peoples phones will still be ringing off the hooks with credit collectors calling? Yes, I honestly think things will get that ridiculous and probably even more so.
Also...........I think there has been a great deal of awakening. Does anyone ever get the feeling that this process is being sped up because of it? In other words, all that they've done would've been done anyhow, but on a timeline of 1-10 they skipped steps 4-8 trying to get out ahead of us kicking their heads in. If they can't have it all, no one can.

How much is this costing?
Twelve keystrokes on Bens computer

Hit any key....
....where's the any key?
He avoids the red coated keys, only hits the green ones.
That's the problem with modern money makers. When it's done on a keyboard, its always "in the black."
If this isn't the end of the world as we know it I will be very disappointed....until the next news cycle.
Unfortunately, more carriers to offer mutual defense is the best that can be done. There's no effective defense against swarm attacks.
U.S. is going to close Hormuz like U.K. did in '67 when Iran kicked BP out and nationalized their oil fields. The Saudis will of course kowtow, China and India will not be happy but that's the point eh? Hold the world hostage to the petrodollar. So... how will Iran respond?

Our relative stupidity (compared to you, of course) is sad.
It must be lonely for a guy like you, to be so freakishly intelligent. A real Gulliver!
He probably thinks him and his buddies have been "fighting for our freedom."
yep. you pinned me exactly on this one....as being the avg. ZH poster that is....not the village idiot.

I don't get it ........oooh
“Contemporary American culture is the most powerful in history, and the most destructive of competitor cultures… It stresses comfort and convenience—ease—and it generates pleasure for the masses… The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing.”
—Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) Ralph Peters, U.S. Army
Recall that once HW Bush moved all the carriers into proximity, it only took a week for the first Gulf WAr to commence. It costs a lot of $$ to move carriers and they don't lump them together without a damn good reason.
Woohoo, We're All Gonna Die! Bullish for coffin makers.
Disclosure: I'm not FOR any of the pointless wars currently underway or the one Mr Peace Prize is about to start.
The first Gulf War could have been ended by Saddam moving south and rolling over what little we had in the area early on. But no, Saddam sat and waited 6 months.
That will never happen again.
After 9-11 we invaded Afghanistan in a rather ballsy way using aging airframes that may or may not have had the endurance to get it done.
They can no longer hate us for our freedom.
Yeah, that's the governments job.
Hey, what's this freedom stuff? Can it fit in my crack pipe? How much is it gonna cost me? 70,000 for each member of my family?
I'll stick to crack, thanks...
Come on, we need a good war, it is great for the economy...Wait a minute, gas prices, damn it.
