US Naval positions

The incredibly useful US naval update from Stratfor was released on 5 September and has some rather interesting info. There are currently two carrier groups in the Persian Gulf, the Dwight D Eisenhower and Enterprise while the Big Deck Amphibiouswarfare ship, Iwo Jima, is cruising off the Yemeni coastline. There has been talk of a major US-led naval wargame in the Persian Gulf in September and an increase in naval military activity in this region is anticipated. This is all part of a larger game being played between the West, Israel and Iran over the latters nuclear development program. The US is keen to show its military might to coerce Iran into acceding to IAEA regulations and demands to inspect its nuclear sites. Iran has responded by announcing its own war games. . . Game on.
