The US Navy has unexpectedly dispatched a fourth aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, along with a fleet of underwater drones in what is being considered just the latest move in a series of escalations leading towards a potential war with Iran.
The deployment of dozens of small, unmanned submarine-like watercraft was confirmed by the Los Angeles Times this week, which cites military officials speaking on condition of anonymity.
This particular type of craft, unmanned SeaFox submersible, are reported to be sent to the Gulf so that the US military can detect and destroy any mines that may be planted in the waterway by Iranian officials if they escalate efforts to block the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important narrow stretch of water that exists as an immensely important conduit for any resources being moved in or out of the Middle East.
The Times says that the subs, at only 4 feet long and fewer than 100 pounds apiece, can move at speeds up to six knots at depths of 300 feet. The price-tag is reported to be $100,000 each, which includes an intricate waterproof television camera and a homing sonar system. The US rush-ordered a shipment in May in a deal with Germany under the direct of Marine Gen. James Mattis, the top US commander in the Middle East. It is reported that a fleet of SeaFox subs were deployed overseas several weeks back, but has only been confirmed now.
The United States has already sent three massive aircraft carriers to the waterways outside of Iran, including the USS Enterprise, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the USS Abraham Lincoln, and will now add the USS John C Stennis to that fleet in August. Unlike these behemoth ships equipped with billions worth of weaponry and service personnel, America’s other new addition to the battlefront is invisible to those on land and can be controlled from anywhere in the world.
“In the Cold War, minesweeping warfare was a large part of what the Navy did, but we have lost a lot of our minesweeping capability,” Christopher Harmer, a senior analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, tells the Times. “The SeaFox is a relatively simple, off-the-shelf system that we can put off our minesweepers but also any surface ship.”
Harmer adds to the paper that although Iran has the capabilities of coming through with its threats of closing the strait, the latest addition to the United States Navy would make sure a blockade wouldn’t last long.
“If they wanted to close the Strait of Hormuz, they could do it, but they would only be able to do it one time,” he says.
The new fleet of SeaFox subs will accompany two massive aircraft carriers and a collection of F-22 fighter jets that America has already sent towards Iran. When the United States upped its presence in Persian Gulf earlier this year, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters, “We want them to know that we are fully prepared to deal with any contingency and it’s better for them to try to deal with us through diplomacy.”
Is Ther Any Doubt As To The Real Intentions Of The Obama Administration? This Is Not A Scare Bully Tactic To Impress The Countries In The Gulf Into Total Submission But The Desire To Annihilate The Total Arab Populations. There Is No Point Talking & Preaching To These Pathetic Instruments Of The Jewish Manifesto On Human Rights Law.
America Has Entered Into A New Era Where You The Good Americans & I The Non American Shall Have To Pay The Heavy Price Of A Man Who Has Sold His Body And Soul To A Twisted, Heinous & Diabolic Dogma Of A People Who Considers Themselves To Be The Chosen People Amongst All.
YES! I'm Pointing A Finger At You. YOU! Murderers Of Prophets! DAMN YOU!
YOU The AMERICAN Goverment, You Have Betrayed Your Own People!

It won’t take long for the Iranian Navy to Hack the codes of the Drone subs just like they hacked the Flying Drone’s code and landed the drone safely into Iranian hands. That’s what we get for Allowing our Demo-Republican Zionist Controlled Government to Give away Military Contracts to the Chinese to build Drone parts. American Contractors should be building EVERY single part of our military Aircraft. The Chinese build parts for the guidance systems and then they sell the secret codes to the highest bidder. Iran made the US look like a joke when they hacked and stole our “Made in China” drone. What would anyone expect from a “Made in Kenya” Presidency and a “Made in Israel” Dictatorship that has replaced our Constitution based Republic.
LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE WORLD WAR III. THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS WE WILL ALL BE SORRY ON BOTH SIDE GOD HELP US ALL AND FOR WHAT?OIL
Is this how Panetta describes diplomacy, by having four fully armed nuclear capable carriers cruising the Iranian waterways? WTF ???????????
Global war is now irreversible. The globalists goal includes taking out Iran. Their massive build up for this confrontation with Iran shows how well armed the Iranians are. Iran is not Libya, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, it is uniquely different from all those puppet states of the west. It has its own weapons systems, much of which the west does not talk about. The west gives the impression that Iran is just like all the other North African and Middle Eastern nations that they have taken over by either covert means, or invasion. Why put out huge military hardware to take out what the pundits say is a poorly militarliy equipped country? The fallout from this attack on Iran will not leave Israel, Europe or America untouched, it will spark Islamic uprisings across the globe, with all the dirty weapons that one can think of. Iran will not win, nor will the west, we will all lose, as others, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, etc, will be drawn into this ever escalating World War Three which has already begun.
This is the bankers last option, and trust me, this will help solving the world population…BUT, the VERY MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF WARRING WITH THE OTHER TWO SUPER-POWERS IS THE TOTAL LOSS OF OUR ABILITY TO DEFEND OURSELVES. THE LOSS OF OUR FOUR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND SUPPORT SHIPS WILL TOTALLY DESTROY OUR DEFENSES. THIS WOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT SOETERO WOULD WANT TO CONTINUE DESTROYING THE U.S……
At this point of the game there are only 2 alternatives left, either world war 111 or a world depresssion.
The agenda of the elite globalist of the NWO is population reduction by having a justifiable genecide war. When the U.S. invades Iran, Russia and China will enter into the conflict and it will be the start of world war 111. This is the last card that the bankers have left to play.
One more time! As I’ve stated before many times, if Isntreal’s lapdog – The USSA – pulls the trigger on Iran, then jews here in the States had better make plans to move immediately. They will no longer be welcome here and there will be folks on the job to make sure they understand that message.
The US is preparing for war with IRAN without any provocation thats totally wrong ,& we the citizens are against it for the.most part . who gave them the power to attack any country without asking the people first .as far as i’m concerned we are a people of peace , we don’t want any wars with any country unless we are attacked first. We are becoming the bully of the world & soon we will pay the price for what these morons in Washington create .lets tell them we the people are still in charge they work for us not us for them.I feel a revolution coming soon to throw these idiots out .We must take a stand against them before its too late.
I WISH HOPE AND PRAY FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN THE WORLD IN FUTURE.
All the USA are doing is to ensure that IRAN nutter leaders cannot block teh straight of Hormuz. Anyway Iran does NOT own all the strait, so blocking it will be violating international law. The USA are merely trying to keep this strait open for legitimate use & to perhaps enforce sanctions against Iran with united nations backing!
No they don’t own all of it. Bahrain owns the other half but it is to shallow for shipping. All Iran has to do is close their half and viola!, the straight is closed. But this is where things get stupid. The bully USSA wants to force Iran to keep their side open. Did you know that there are pipe lines that bypass the whole thing? There is no need to even bug Iran about this. It’s just one more excuse to dupe the people into supporting Isntreal’s war love.
