Israel

According to leaked intelligence, Israel has been developing nuclear weapons at its Dimona site in the Negev since 1958, and many estimate that Israel may have stockpiled between about 200-300 warheads using the plutonium reprocessed from Dimona.

Both US Navy carriers CVN-74 (which is currently just briefly caught up in that whole Senkaku Snafu between Japan and China) Stennis and Marine force LHA-1 Peleliu are en route to Iran.

Iranian capabilities or a sudden discovery of Iran’s anti-Israeli rhetoric that prompted the depiction of Iran as an existential threat. Rather, it was the fear that in the new post-Cold War environment in which Israel had lost much of its strategic significance to Washington, improved relations between the US and Iran could come at the expense of Israeli security interests. Iran would become emboldened and the U.S. would no longer seek to contain its growth.

 I am curious why the USS Enterprise, the oldest aircraft carrier in the US Navy, will be the 3rd "supporting" carrier in the Hormuz Straits area, when it is due for decommissioning next year, here is one video with a theory which is rather alarming.

Isreal appears to forget that they have nuclear weapons and refused to join the treaty.  At the same time others are blamed.  In the meanwhile a russian airplane carrier is peacefully observing the 3 US Navy 'friends'.  

This is better than JAG or NCIS....
