Debkafile’s military sources report that Washington has posted a third carrier opposite Iran’s shores. It is supported by amphibious assault ships and up to 4,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel, bringing the total US strength in these waters to three carriers and 10,000 combat personnel.
The USS Nassau (LHA-4) Amphibious Ready Group 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, tasked with supporting the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet area of operations, is cruising around the Bab al-Mandeb Straits where the Gulf of Aden flows into the Red Sea. Its presence there accounts for Tehran announcing Sunday, June 27 that its “aid ship for Gaza” had been called off, for fear an American military boarding party would intercept the vessel and search it. This would be permissible under the latest UN sanctions punishing the Islamic Republic for its nuclear program.
The third US carrier group to reach waters around Iran consists of three vessels:
1. The USS Nassau Amphibious Assault ship is not just an enormous landing craft for the 3,000 Marines aboard; its decks carry 6 vertical take-off AV-HB Harrier attack plans; four AH-1W Super Cobra, twelve CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters, as well choppers convertible to fast V-22 Osprey airplanes capable of landing in any conditions.
This vast warship has 1,400 cabinets for sleeping the entire Marine-24th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard.
2. The amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde which carries 800 Marines equipped for instantaneous landing.
3. The amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland which carries 400 Marines and 102 commandos trained for special operations behind enemy lines.
debkafile adds: The USS Ashland was the target of an al Qaeda Katyusha rocket attack in 2005 when it was docked in Jordan’s Aqaba port next door to the Israeli port of Eilat. One of the rockets exploded in Eilat airport. The ship exited harbor in time to escape harm.
These new arrivals are a massive injection of naval, air and marine muscle to the strength Washington has deployed in the Persian Gulf-Red Sea-Indian Ocean arena in recent months. The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group consisting of twelve warships is cruising in the Arabian Sea opposite Chah Bahar, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards biggest naval base not far from the Iranian-Pakistan border. It is there that most of Iran’s special commando units are housed.
Also posted in the Arabian Sea, further to the west, is the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike Group.

To patric,
Dont belive no religon are anything tied to religon of any kind,it only takes your freedom,remember the catholic church killed18,000,000people in the name of the christian god,and lucifer was the name of a fallan prince.See how easy you you belived in a montra that wasnt true.I wastedmany years in the belife of an angory god ,until i lost a debate.christ is not the son of god ,he never says that he is,he only says hes the son of manand i challange any to show me where he him self says he is-
Religon is for the week minded, it was created to control them out of fear.Are you weak minded ,or controlled by fear.You must conqure your fear and look inward to save your self from your own sinsDont get caught up in this maskerade of agod that is going to come down from heaven and save the human race,we must do this ourselfs and let religon fade away.
Religon is probly the worlds greatest enemy,it has finaly brought us to our prisibus,we change as a world our sese to exsist as a world.
Do you know why ghandi would’nt become a christian… he said an eye for an eye makes the whole eorld go blind.Just look at what he gave for his people and his country in the name of love,agop’e love,the true love
If you are praying to christ /a human man that lived almost died on the cross,and died later at a great age in kasmire india with many children ,you are worshiping a man as a god ,and that is one your unfogivible sins,so eith this in mind ,read your bible and wep.
You have lied to ,Stay away from religon or may very well lose your soul and your spirt will have to repeat this life again
You openly invite Lucifer into your home Milla.
Dont believe everything you here or see on TV.
Lucifer is the prince of the air waves.
I live under the ever watchful eye of Mossad CIA and FBI.
They are evil and have already begun an aggressive campaign to put everyone on either prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
They practice population control on us, its the Fluoride in our water, and so much more. That is why without invaders invading our country by the millions each year, our population would drop every year into the abyss.
This is not Jesus working, it is Lucifer.
And also, if you do not like the Islamic Republic Milla, then you should know that the US-UN-Israel Empire created this puppet government back in the 80’s.
But now Israel and the US Empire have created an even worse puppet government to instill upon your people.
We have no democracy.
The vote does not decide our leaders, the counters of the vote decide our leaders.
Dont you read the Koran, or better then that, the Bible!
It even says that Lucifer will create his one world empire and the time of the Church will be over.
That is what we are entering into now.
The time of the Church is over, Lucifer’s time on the global thrown is almost in full swing.
The stage is set, the curtains pull back, it’s time for the show Lucifer’s been preparing for us now.
This is going to be more horrible then we can prepare for without Christ in our hearts.
I’m Iranian.No one like War… But we’re waiting for Americans Raid.do you know why?? Cause we are prisoners of our fucking government.we are tired from these bastards.we hope America could eliminate Islamic rejim of Iran and gives freedom to Iranian people.and be sure… American army will face minimum engage from Iran’s people… now just two words mean for us
Liberty or Death
George, you have no idea how many American Patriots and followers of Christ agree with you 100%.
Also, 9/11 was dont by Mossad and the CIA.
Ron Paul or David Duke are our only non violent hopes.
Other then that, it is go out and fight the largest most dangerous most immoral empire that has ever existed.
If General George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, General Knox were all here, they would be fighting a militia war against the US-Federal-Empire.
But they are not here, so lets do what they would be doing, because my brothers and sisters, we do after all hold the moral high ground!
“These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.” – G.K. Chesterton

It will be war for sure; but hopefully this war will not escalate to a nuclear war or we’ll be all dead. However I don’t know how the jews can be wiped out unless the american millitary and political leaders are eliminated first. The americans have been feed hamburgers, TV shows and lies for decades now-by the jewish elites. The federal reserve is not federal but private-and few americans know that! The USA has been enslaved . Let the war start and let’s get it over with the american millitary power run by the jewish snakes.
If the Federal-Empire attacks out fellow human brothers,
Then us American-Patriots are going to have to attack the Federal-Empire for war crimes, global conquest, mass murder of civilians, and enslaving our own country led by the CIA and Mossad.
Calling all able body Americans.
Get your gear ready, ammo, water, night vision, personal body armor at the ready.
It could come at anytime in the next 60 days.
We may be fighting for our lives in no time.
Carry or display a 13 star American flag, ie (so we are not shooting each other)
We wont get another chance to liberate our selves from the empire.
This is it, its now or never
American Patriots Unite, or Die by the hands of the Federal Empire
10000 troops isn’t going to be enough. Even if the Jewnited Snakes of Christ sent all their troops they’d still be outnumbered. You can be sure that both Russia and North Korea are just waiting for a reason, and this could be it.
The world will be a better place when the Jew SA and Israel are burned to the ground.
