The Trump administration sent a bomber task force and a carrier strike group to Iran to give a ‘clear and unmistakable message’ in response to ‘a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings.
’
Fox News reported: “The deployment comes less than a month after the Trump administration designated Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
“The deployment also comes amid the bloodiest fighting in five years between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.”
Bolton said: “In response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings, the United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.
“The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces.”
According to a former Israeli national security adviser Yaakov Amidror, Iran was behind the increasing escalation in Gaza.
The Jerusalem Post reported: “What made Friday’s shooting on the IDF patrol interesting, Amidror said, was that it took place precisely when Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders were in Cairo putting the finishing touches on an agreement drawn up by Egypt that was designed to ease the tension in the South.
“But while its leaders were in Cairo, Islamic Jihad fired on the soldiers. At first, the organization tried to deny responsibility for the attack.”
Amidror asked: “Why did the Islamic Jihad do this? The answer is again and again and again – Iran.”
“[Islamic Jihad] was established by Iran, financed by Iran, and does what Iran wants it to do,” Amidror added. “Israel will be busy focusing on Gaza and not have enough energy to deal with the building up of an independent war machine in Syria.”
