American aircraft carriers withdrawn from the Persian Gulf

67

The carrier group of the United States of America, led by the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, which was on duty in the Iranian region, left the territory of the Persian Gulf, passing the Strait of Hormuz and leaving the Arabian Sea. Currently in the waters of the Persian Gulf there is not a single US aircraft carrier.

February 16 Persian Gulf water left another US aircraft carrier group, headed by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. When the ships passed along the coast of Iran, they were constantly accompanied by an Iranian patrol boat, which was kept at a distance of 800 meters. No major incidents have occurred.

Now two US carrier groups are located in the Arabian Sea, fulfilling the combat mission associated with providing air support for NATO troops in Afghanistan. Earlier, representatives of the US Navy reported that another aircraft carrier would appear in the waters of the Persian Gulf.
Thus, it was reported that in March or April of this year another American carrier-assault strike group will arrive in this region, which will include the Enterprise carrier, the missile cruiser and three missile destroyers, and then the Charles-Gaulle aircraft carrier, the flagship of the French Navy, will arrive there .

According to reports, the US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson went to the Persian Gulf to replenish stocks in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Last week he stood in the port of Dubai for several days. Prior to his visit to the waters of the Persian Gulf, the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, along with the combat guard ships, was on duty off the coast of Iran in the northern part of the Arabian Sea.

The US Navy began maneuvers in the Persian Gulf after Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in the case of the European Union, which is concerned about Tehran’s nuclear program, put an embargo on Iran’s oil supplies. Through this strait, oil is delivered by sea (about 40%) all over the world.

Many experts believe that Iran can create a nuclear weapon. To get it, Tehran will need the entire 1 year. Meanwhile, Israel may launch air strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities in the spring of this year, Leon Panetta, the head of the Pentagon, suggested earlier.

        here a simple situation arises: the Americans do not want to leave the ships in the Persian bag, because if the hostilities begin, the strait will be closed and there they have no room for maneuver, just a target, even with air cover and air defense of the ships, they will be destroyed - if they brought out it means they are preparing - just a tactical maneuver - arrange the pieces on the board

The fact is that all this cool American army in the entire history of its existence did not win a single war. what will they answer? what is the advantage? is that fear will spoil the entire Persian Gulf with their feces? this, my friend, is the use of chemical weapons .. so Nizya)))

            Mongolia still needs to be attacked !!!! necessarily! and the Vatican, best known as the center of Catholicism and the residence of the Pope, occupying an area of ​​approximately 44 hectares, is the smallest independent sovereign state in the world. And then the Pope behaves somehow undemocraticly! For many centuries now, the Papo has ruled the Vatican and this is not democratic! so the amers will soon announce a new axis of evil - the Vatican and Mongolia ... the yusov army will no longer take out the other axes.

    I think that some strategic plans have changed. Most likely, the Yusy will return, and perhaps with renewed vigor. The US "peacemaker" campaign is probably going on, that is, Israel is attacking Iran (perhaps Iran is accused of the attack, like the Germans are the Poles in 1939), and the US simply cannot help helping its ally (just before the elections, the slogan ".. we did not want war, but if Israel / Iran started a war, then we will have to get involved for an ally ..." will be very effective to calm the American public) IMHO

    In principle, the United States acted reasonably, withdrawing the AUG from the Persian Gulf. It seems that they opened the organization of Iran’s air defense. Now you can destroy Iran’s air defense missiles from bases (Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar ....) and submarines. Yes, there was infa that the USA is building a secret air base for unmanned aerial vehicles in the Persian Gulf and it should be ready at the beginning of this year. They could have placed something else in Georgia ......

    Of course, the opinion of an amateur, but in my opinion, "It will begin soon" is the most correct comments about the reasons for the withdrawal of the AUG from the Gulf (I would like to be wrong) , of course they will not become floating targets, but they will be very vulnerable and the likelihood of damage to some of the aircraft carriers increases (not the fact that it is significant, but nevertheless) And so carrier-based aircraft will be able to work calmly from the Arabian Sea, but at the same time there is room for maneuver aircraft carriers there are an order of magnitude higher. Why did they come in? Here people have already made an assumption - this is intelligence (collecting information about the Iranian air defense, etc.)

No claws ate home and go ahead ... You don’t even need to know the language. ..
