The U.S. military has asserted its forces were on a heightened level of alert amid soaring tensions with Iran, directly contradicting a spokesperson for its own coalition in the region.
"U.S. Central Command, in coordination with Operation Inherent Resolve, has increased the force posture level for all service members assigned to OIR in Iraq and Syria," Urban said."As a result, OIR is now at a high level of alert as we continue to closely monitor credible and possibly imminent threats to U.S. forces in Iraq."
Central Command sent the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East based on White House national security adviser John Bolton's after announced"troubling and escalatory indications and warnings" of an alleged Iranian plot to attack U.S. interests.
Tehran, backed by Beijing and Moscow, has called on Europe, however, to live up to its end of the nuclear deal and normalize trade in the face of Washington's unilateral pressure. Iranian officials such as Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and U.N. envoy Majid Takht Ravanchi have also dismissed reports of Iranian plans to attack U.S. interests as deliberate attempts to provoke a war between the two countries.
Hopefully we won’t get into World War III, this thing would be ugly for both sides.
It is feared that the US, who is hostage by the Israeli/ jews lobby, may go to full fledged war against the Iran because it's president's mindset cannot be predicted by even his close allies. But Trump does not know what price US as well as Israel shall pay if they attack Iran.
I want to see the intelligence. RepAdamSchiff and LindseyGrahamSC haven’t seen it. That’s unacceptable.
We’ll be greeted as liberators!!!
