LongTerm. Actually, this is nothing new with reference to Yemen. Our Navy has been observing, and tracking ALL movements of Iranian shipping into, and out of the Persian Gulf, and Strait of Hormuz since Long before the First Gulf War.

Up to today, or when this information was intentionally released. The Obama/Pentagon admin wanted to keep it quiet in order for Obama to get some pats on the back for his PERFECTION in fighting those terrible TERRORISTS...he refuses to admit...even exist. Remember? Obama was really proud of how well everything has been going in YEMEN? Just like everything else he's LIED about.

You can almost Bet Obama had a hand in this. But we shouldn't forget. Obama also determines the ROE (rules of engagement), and those ships (Commanding Officers) probably have orders to play Innocent Games with American lives. I wouldn't be surprised if we had another COLE kind of circumstance happen there.
But...Our Sailors, and Marines...TAKE NO NAMES, and ASK QUESTIONS LATER when somebody shoots at them.

​Better update ...

`The U.S. Navy has been beefing up its presence in the Gulf of Aden and the southern Arabian Sea amid reports that a convoy of about eight Iranian ships is heading toward Yemen and possibly carrying arms for the Houthis.
A Navy official confirmed to Fox News that the USS Theodore Roosevelt -- along with her escort ship, the USS Normandy, a guided-missile cruiser -- left the Persian Gulf on Sunday en route for the Arabian Sea, to help enforce the blockade.
Tensions are rising in the region even as the U.S. and five other world powers scramble to strike a final deal with Iran on its nuclear program by the end of June. The fighting in Yemen, where U.S. ally Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition against the Iran-backed rebels...


"We have seen evidence that the Iranians are supplying weapons and other armed support to the Houthis in Yemen. That support will only contribute to greater violence in that country," he said. "These are exactly the kind of destabilizing activities that we have in mind when we raise concerns about Iran's destabilizing activities in the Middle East."

***
He said "the Iranians are acutely aware of our concerns for their continued support of the Houth is by sending them large shipments of weapons."

LongTerm. Funnier side of this is. Iran has been placing YOUTUBE video's online that show how powerful their Navy is Supposed to be...., but even as they pretend to be so great, using their endless propaganda video's with exciting music, and subtitles. Not once would they ever admit...ONE U.S Navy Destroyer could blow all of them out of the water...while the crews of the Navy ships watch Movies, or play BINGO on a Sunday afternoon during HOLIDAY ROUTINE...with their BBQ on the fantail blowing smoke at the IRANIANS!

Agreed LongTerm. And, as sort of a History Buff about war, and our military. I find it rather unsettling that our UNSPEAKABLE (by Obama) Terrorist Enemies are so much like the Japanese Kamikazi's from WWII. They are so desperate, and have been taught to HATE US so much. They are willing to DIE and become Martyr's because of their Brainwashed (birth-to-death) hatred of Western civilization.

We can call them all the names we like but....like the mass of Under/Uneducated Americans here who aren't intelligent enough to recognize how their hatred makes them so angry. The world is quickly becoming a very angry, dangerous, desperate place for anyone who knows RIGHT from WRONG.

All any of us need to do is LOOK AROUND. Nearly everywhere we go, the Ignorant are becoming the Majority.

"A show of force by a very confident nation" (who made them confident...)


"Iran flashes military might amid high hopes for nuclear deal"

<cite class="el-editorial-source" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: CNN, 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700;">Tehran, Iran (CNN)</cite>Traveling to Iran these days, the mood among many people and the government can probably best be described using two words: confident and optimistic.

After a preliminary framework for a possible nuclear deal was reached between Iran and world powers, many here believe a final agreement is possible -- and most hope that widespread sanctions relief could be on the horizon....... Iran's leaders were celebrating their war machine as the military held its annual National Army Day parade.

Tyr. Obama didn't get himself elected. Every Racist in this nation who fears being shown, or told the truth Elected Obama. We all know WHY he was put into office. But cowards who fear being called racists had to vote for him because they are UNINFORMED, UNEDUCATED, and Just plain STUPID.
