That would mean the USA just bombed the ever-living crap out of 3 Iranian nuclear facilities for no reason.
I mean, if Iran’s nuclear capabilities were exaggerated and not an immediate threat, and the U.S. still struck multiple nuclear sites (which they did on the orders of Trump).
It would seem to raise some rather difficult questions about motive, intelligence accuracy, and proportionality.
If that turns out to be the colour of the day, then the justification becomes shaky, and it looks more like a power move than self-defense.

I guess they are all out of DEEP END DEALS!
Now that that little war is over, I spy with my eye a little nation that starts with the letter R.

It might be the reason they choose to send an older carrier ready to be decommissioned.
But i think American forces will wipe the ocean squeaky clean regarding the Iranian navy of today.
Same as they did last time around.
I'm not suggesting that will help matters all the same.
It's just kicking over more WW3 dominos if that does happen imho.

Didn't see a third, and do you know what "decimated" means.
