Meanwhile, “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ navy has unveiled new vessels equipped with 600-km range missiles” amid the rising tensions with the United States. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Cops Navy Commander, Alireza Tangsiri, stated that “the islands of the Persian Gulf are part of Iran’s honour and we will defend them.” Tangsiri also called on “regional countries” to provide security, while “Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian called his counterparts in both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to say that “’we can have peace, stability and progress in the region without the presence of foreigners.’”
“The renewed hostilities come as Iran now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.”
As American forces are massing in the Gulf, four American officials have also revealed that “the US military is considering putting armed personnel on commercial ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, in what would be an unheard-of action aimed at stopping Iran from seizing and harassing civilian vessels.”
Under the Biden administration, America inches closer to war with Iran (as it enriches uranium closer to weapons-grade levels), as well as with Russia and China.
“Buildup of American forces in Persian Gulf a new signal of worsening US-Iran conflict,” by Jon Gambrell, AP, August 1, 2023:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Thousands of Marines backed by advanced U.S. fighter jets and warships are slowly building up a presence in the Persian Gulf. It’s a sign that while America’s wars in the region may be finished, its conflict with Iran over its advancing nuclear program continues to worsen, with no solutions in sight.
The dispatch of the troop-and-aircraft-carrying USS Bataan to the Gulf, alongside stealth F-35 fighters and other warplanes, comes as America wants to focus on China and Russia.
But Washington is seeing once again that while it’s easy to get into the Middle East militarily, it’s difficult to ever get fully out — particularly as Iran now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels after the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
There is no sign that diplomacy will revive the deal soon, and Iran in recent weeks has resumed harassing and seizing ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Some 20% of the world’s oil passes through the narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the wider world.
For hard-liners in Tehran’s theocracy, the move projects power to surrounding nations as part of a wave of assaults attributed to Iran since 2019. It also serves as a warning to the U.S. and its allies that the Islamic Republic has the means to retaliate, particularly as American sanctions result in the seizure of ships carrying Iranian crude oil. Worries over another seizure likely has left a ship allegedly carrying Iranian oil stranded off Texas as no company has yet to unload it….
While the U.S. military hasn’t discussed precisely what it will be doing with the increased presence in the region, the movements have gotten Iran’s attention. In recent days, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian called his counterparts in both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to say that “we can have peace, stability and progress in the region without the presence of foreigners.”…

There are many people who want war. biden speaks as if he does….and of course, mozlums do, esp those with the power to make it happen.
“When I say peace, peace, they are for war.”

I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.”

FYI says
Joe Biden,as c-in-c of the Rainbow armies is clearly not in charge of anything.He just signs whatever is put in front of him and then reads out his carefully prepared statement.
People need to ask a few questions..
So WHO will be making any military decisions that could result in war?
Someone behind the throne as it were?
We know who the puppet *is but WHO is/are the Puppetmaster/s?
*Just as Zelensky is the puppet for Ukraine and the Globalist elite on their ”c’mon let’s start WW3′ show by insisting Ukraine joins NATO”
Michael says
All,
Let us know when it starts; otherwise, stop pontificating.
PMK says
This story is three days old and this is the first I’ve seen of it. Joe is relaxing in Delaware at the beach. Did he order this action or did Milley? I thought Obama was Joe’s puppet master, but to invite armed conflict with Iran? Que sera sera.

If Ukraine vs Russia is arguable, the current standoff b/w Iran on one hand, vs Kuwait/Emirates on the other is none of our business. As for shipping through the Straits of Hormuz, we need to stop policing that area, and get back to our Trump era energy production policies – be it fracking, ANWR drilling, Keystone pipeline…. Once we do that, we don’t need to bother about what goes on in the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and we can stabilize the freefall of the economy that we have been undergoing
Let the Arabs approach their new pals China & Russia for help against Iran. Or failing that, let them get creative. Saudi Arabia can build a pipeline to the Red Sea to plan shipping to Asia and Africa, and maybe extend it to Egypt and have them transport it to Port Said and then across the Mediterranean. Emirates can build ports on the Gulf of Oman side of their country, & ship things there. Kuwait and Bahrein can also run a pipeline along the East coasts of Saudi Arabia, Emirates & Oman & run things out of Muscat. Let them be creative, if they’re capable of it, instead of expecting us to police that area all the time

The Muslims are rising all over the world. They are like a biical plague of locusts. Time for a modern day “crusade”. Kick them all out of Europe. Close the European borders.
PRCS says
Whose task will that fall to?
And what will the consequences be when they refuse to go?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The Europeans. No foreign troops to help them
If they refuse to go, just cut off all benefits, to the point of letting them starve & denying them free medical care. Also, ban them from voting or owning immovable property
After a while, their lives will become so miserable that they’ll beg to leave
PRCS says
Now,
Extrapolate that to the U.S.
To what agency will that task be assigned and–knowing what you do of life and politics here–what will the consequences be when they refuse to go?
Muslim advocacy groups have become so influential and aggressive that politicians will never allow that.
