More Evidence
This is just a tidbit, but put it on the pile of other evidence and you just have to wonder:
“The first message was routine enough: a ‘Prepare to Deploy Order’ sent through Naval communications channels to a submarine, an Aegis-class cruiser, two minesweepers and two minehunters. The orders didn’t actually command the ships out of port; they just said be ready to move by October 1. A deployment of minesweepers to the east coast of Iran would seem to suggest that a much discussed, but until now largely theoretical, prospect has become real: that the U.S. may be preparing for war with Iran.”
Why in the world would they need minesweeping equipment? OHHHHHH, yeah. There's that little spot called the Strait of Hormuz.
