US Sends Patriot Missiles To Middle East

Tensions are increasing between Iran and the US amid threats Iran made to US bases and personnel in the ME. Iran is not backing down as the US Navy aircraft carrier group and B52s arrive in Qatar.

The US government has approved the deployment of a Patriot missile defence battery and another warship to the Middle East amid increasing tensions between the US and Iran.

The USS Arlington, which transports marines, amphibious vehicles, and rotary aircraft, as well as the Patriot missiles, will join the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which already passed through Egypt's Suez Canal on Thursday, and is currently sailing in the Red Sea, according to CNN.

The US says the deployments of military hardware to the region comes in response to "heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations".

The Patriot missile system is a defence mechanism against aircraft, drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, and is currently deployed in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

 

Clearly, an act of imperialistic aggression on part of United States, dong Israel’s bidding

 

Backing down from what?

 

Being an Independent country.

 

A noble cause to be sure, but nobody wants that shithole.

 

Just begging for Iran to do something that will allow justification for attack and allow Bolton, Pompeo et al the war they so desperately want. In fact, it would not surprise me to see a false flag of some kind.

Very dangerous. We are so close to another ME war, in fact the economic war has already started we are just waiting for the shooting to start.

Americans may rah rah this criminal administrations unprovoked war but may not like the unintended consequenses as this aggression towards Iran plays out.

 

If they are going to war, they need to annihilate the entire countries, hell, a few cities will do it.
The rest is desert.
We should have taken it in 79, and Russia could have taken Afganistan.

 

Leave it up to the pro Jew squad to support genocide.

 

If MSM would stop covering Trump for just one minute and report the heighthened tensions between the US and Iran maybe you would know that answer to your question. The answer is in the article and many more articles on this subject can be found. Links are required with each thread for a reason. Try reading it first and then ask a specific question if you are still not sure what is going on.

 

A bit of humor right?

 

Iran cannot threatened the US or the world's commercial shipping in that region. A credible threat to both is why the US is increasing it's military capabilities in the area. Iran is most likely starting to feel the pain after the Trump administration pulled out of the nuclear treaty.

 

Are you with the anti Jew squad?

 

Then we got a second chance with the anti mullah student uprising in 2009

But obama supported the mullahs

 

The answer is not in the article. The US is sending all kind of troops based on "heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations"... but there is no example. It's not as if Iran is patrolling around with war ships somewhere. The US is! It's the US who has a heightened readiness to conduct offensive operations.

 

"ANOTHER WAR FOR ISRAEL"

You're absolutely correct. Why didn't America learn from its last war for Israel?

"Quietly lobbying Congress to approve the use of force in Iraq was one of AIPAC's successes over the past year."
AIPAC executive director Howard Kohr
New York Sun in January 2003


There are still loyal American G.I.s & Veterans lingering in V.A. hospitals around the country who haven't recovered from being mutilated, burned, traumatized & dismembered in the last war America fought for right wing Israeli lobbies and stay-at-home
"Christian Zionists" so why are Americans being duped into sacrificing even more loyal American G.I.s for such a thankless Zionist regime:


Netanyahu: “Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away”

Those US warships are their to protect the interest of the world economy's need for oil. What is Iran protecting in that area except it's own interest? It seems Iranian hardliners want a war with the US.

In the latest tense exchange between Tehran and Washington, Iran's hardline Revolutionary Guards separately said Iran would not negotiate with the United States, a stance likely in part to be intended to discourage Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his moderate allies from taking up a US offer of talks.

 

Negative... them ships are there for the "heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations"... but there is no example.

To protect their own borders from invading violent abusive nations. They got every right to do that. You go ask Trump how important protecting his borders are.

 

The only country doing the threatening is the US.

Iran has not attacked any of it's neighbors and was in full compliance with the internation agreement.


America wants war. That's what America does - war, sanctions and death.

 

You can add the medieval Wahhabi kingdom of Saudi Arabia into the equation as well.

Israel and SA are driving US foreign policy in their own interests because they have the wealth to buy off the American political power structure.

The interests of ordinary Americans are not even worth consideration to those in love with war and the smell of death.

 

The US military has been protecting the shipping lanes in the ME for decades and not once has the US invaded Iran.

 

And the US has been protecting the Straight for decades without invading Iran. Iran uses proxies to do it's fighting which tells me you are not well informed when it comes to Iran. The Ayatollah didn't learn a thing when Saddam tried to make the world believe he had nuclear weapons.

"The ISNA news agency quoted hardliner Ayatollah Tabatabai-Nejad in the city of Isfahan as saying: "Their billion-dollar fleet can be destroyed with one missile. "

 

The US overthrew their democratically elected leader. The US also aided Saddam Hussein with his WMD war against Iran. They even shot down an Iranian civilian plane. And the US invaded countries left and right from Iran.

 

The US overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran in an illegal covert coup and installed a puppet government under the Shah.

When the Iranians had the unforgivable gall to overthrow the American puppet, the earned the everlasting hatred of the empire who actually used Iraq as a proxy to attack Iran back when Saddam was a good dictator and American buddy.

What proxies is Iran using? Hezbollah is a legitimate political party in Lebanon and just because their military wing did the unforgivable and fought Israel to a draw doesn't change that.

It was the invasion of Iraq by US that allowed the Shia majority to form militias and they have been actively driving out terrorist groups in Iraq like ISIS ever since.

Hezbollah was invited by the government of Syria to help defeat terrorist groups such as al Nusra as was Russia. The US has no legitimate reason to be in Syria and everyone except Israel and SA want them out.

The Houthis are a legitimate political movement in Yemen who have every right to fight for their existance in that country against Saudi aggression and illegal mass murder they are undertaking against the poorest people on the planet.

What other proxies did you have in mind.

I understand Iran just fine and I know what the Bolton's and Pompeo's of the world want to do there and the death and suffering they are trying to inflict on the Iranian people with yet another diastrous, unnecessary war of regime change that destroys once stable nations and creates failed states

 

Yeah, the shah was bringing Iran into the 20th century, but hey, the old school Muslims wanted to go back to the 10th.

Google pictures of Iran in the 70's.

 

Better Israel's bidding than the Democrats bidding
