Pentagon officials say the military muscle-flexing is meant to warn Tehran off attacking American interests or personnel. 9News

Yet others in the Pentagon contend that the threat is being exaggerated, with the first senior defence official - who is directly involved in discussions - telling CNN that there is "not a single piece of corroborating intel" suggesting an attack by Iran may be imminent.has fuelled some of the uncertainty, reportedly asking in a mid-November meeting for military options he could use against Iran.

The US flew nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to the Middle East on December 30, 2020 in the latest show of force meant to deter Iran. US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said in a statement that Wednesday's B-52 flight was meant "to underscore the US military's commitment to regional security and demonstrate a unique ability to rapidly deploy overwhelming combat power on short notice."

After Soleimani was killed in Iraq by an American drone strike in January, Iran responded with a major missile attack on US military bases in the region. Three US defence officials tell CNN that Iran has been moving additional weaponry into Iraq, including short range ballistic missiles, an arsenal that officials believe could be used to strike American targets.

War mongering begins again. 4 years of peace gone.

BLM more! How many taxpayer billions are being wasted by the White right impressing foreigners on foreign lands?

It's designed to impress Israel, who just spat in their face by welcoming a spy who gave US Intell secrets to the Israeli government. 'Muscle-flexing' does nothing but confirm, to Iran, that they need to build up their military & relationships with Russia & Syria. So would I.
