The Noose Is Tightening Around Iran. U.S. Aircraft Carrier Battlegroups Are on the Move.

I read an article a few years back that pointed out that Iran has pretty sophisticated anti ship missile capabilities that could be very problematic especially for our carriers.
That being said, the battle groups are a show of military power. More optics than forces that will be used. I think if it reaches that stage ( use of our naval assets) it will put the world at the brink of WW 3. The Russians are either in or close to the area. Reportedly, China has some craft headed there. Iran? Who knows?
As for the tightening of the noose ; again talk about enforcing any sanctions the U.S. has on Iran might get their attention to not get involved in this with or by their proxies ( supposedly drones were fired from their proxies but were shot down. ) Were they fired at our ships or headed for Israel? Hopefully they were directed at Israel. If Iran is pulling strings that adversely or provocatively engage our military, this whole thing could get real dangerous. So if we can enforce sanctions if that is an option, it might be the best non confrontational way to do things.

All of this could have been averted if the US had just handed back the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in the 1970s, apologized for orchestrating the overthrow of a legitmate government along with their British cohorts in 1953 because the country voted to nationalize the oil industry. The CIA & MI6 interfered in a sovereign state.

More intel. gathering related than war footing I imagine.
However it's not exactly a safe place to be and with all the different players in the game being physically there it increases the risk of 'accident'.
And that really is dangerous

That is awesome.
