I think we're about to go live in the ME again. I hear there's a THIRD carrier strike group (The American Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group) that will be in the Persian Gulf by this weekend.

That is Iran’s ultimatum. “He went on to brand the UN Security Council and its decisions “illegitimate.”
DEBKAfile adds: These words amounted to an Iranian threat of harm to the European UN forces deployed in Lebanon unless they left forthwith.

Olmert in Moscow: In no case will we reconcile with nuclear arms in Iranian hands. There is no margin for error here ... After talks with President Vladimir Putin and Russian defense and foreign ministers, Olmert said: “Iran needs to fear that something that they do not want to happen will happen.” DEBKAfile Reports: Moscow welcomed Olmert, but sticks to its nuclear ties with Iran and its lucrative arms business with Syria and other rogue entities. |
