The U.S. military says a B-52 bomber and an aircraft carrier dispatched to the Mideast over a perceived threat from Iran have conducted a joint exercise together in the Arabian Sea.

The Air Force said in a statement Sunday that the exercise saw F/A-18 Super Hornets, MH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters and E-2D Growlers from the USS Abraham Lincoln fly with the B-52 bomber.

The Air Force says the aircraft also"simulated strike operations" in the exercise, which took place on Saturday. The White House dispatched the Lincoln and its strike force to the Mideast in May over an Iranian threat it did not describe at the time. The U.S. pulled out of Iran's nuclear deal a year ago. Since then, relations have grown tense as America imposes ever-tougher sanctions on Tehran.

I LOVE seeing airborne B-52s. I wonder if radical Islamists in the Middle East feel the same way?

Simulated? Like Melania has sex with realDonaldTrump ?

Kushner in Mideast to drum up support for peace planWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is in the Middle East to drum up support for his as-yet unveiled Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. And the media treats this as if it's NORMAL. There is NOTHING normal about any of this. Kushner has business ties all over the middle east, he still can't pass a legitimate security clearance and he STILL uses his personal phone and WhatsApp to do GOVERNMENT business!!!

Should anyone be surprised by Iran's response? Laughable. This so called administration has botched North Korea diplomatic efforts, and now want to hold talks with Iran after walking away from the nuclear deal? To say that this so called administration is amateurish is an insult to amateurs. Resistence always pays off. Trump administration mistook Iran for the fat-ass&weak-kneed Arab states those who soil their pants when the US yells at them.
