    Getting the needed US aircraft carriers into place before telling Iranians to revolt

    Didn’t they bring two additional aircraft carriers into the region like a month before the “preemptive” strike that kicked this off? Also heard rumblings that the US has been moving quite a lot of aircraft into the region since like December

      One was already in place. But was supposed to go in for maintenance like a month ago.

      The other had to be sent in from IIRC the Pacific, much like the ship full of Marines currently on its way (that should have been in place a month ago if there was any chance they’d be needed…)
