The US and Israel continue to threaten war on Iran following Mossad-backed riots to destablize the Islamic Republic
A US aircraft carrier and supporting warships have arrived in West Asia, expanding US capabilities for a possible attack on Iran, Reuters reported on 26 January, citing two US officials.
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers have crossed into West Asia, the region for which the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) is responsible, the officials stated.
The Pentagon is also moving fighter jets and air-defense systems to the region.
US President Donald Trump said last week that he was sending an “armada” toward Iran “just in case.”
The warships began deploying from the Asia-Pacific region earlier this month, at the same time Israeli intelligence was sparking riots and an armed insurrection against the Iranian government under the cover of protests.
Trump had repeatedly threatened to order an attack on the Islamic Republic, using claims that Iranian security forces were killing peaceful protesters as a pretext.
The US military also staged a major military buildup in the region before joining Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran last June.
The US used 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs delivered by B-2 stealth bombers to target Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear sites.
The USS Abraham has arrived just days after the US military announced it would conduct an exercise in the region “to demonstrate the ability to deploy, disperse, and sustain combat airpower.”
A senior Iranian official told Reuters last week that Tehran would consider any attack as an “all-out war against us.”

Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world may be overlooked or left unused.
—Woodrow Wilson in an unpublished paper of 1907, as quoted in The Rising American Empire (1960) by Richard Warner Van Alstyne, p. 201
