"U.S.S. Nimitz will arrive in mideast waters this weekend; explains 'Trump two-week delay'"

"(zh) the U.S.S. Nimitz carrier strike group is en route to middle east waters and is expected to arrive this weekend, a U.S. official tells Fox news on friday, after the carrier departed the south china sea on monday.

"this is the latest confirmation that the U.S. navy will now have two aircraft carriers in the middle east at the same time. while reports previewed this movement earlier this week, making it no surprise, this is the first revelation of a more precise timeline.

"as for the prior reporting via military sources, stars & stripes stated, 'the aircraft carrier and its strike group left Bremerton, Wash., in march for the indo-pacific region for what is expected to be the ship’s final deployment. now, the Nimitz and the warships sailing with it will join the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson in the middle east, the defense official said.

"currently, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson is already positioned in the arabian sea, while the navy has also lately confirmed deployment of the carrier U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford to the mediterranean, presumably as 'back-up' - though that mission had long been shechuled.

"as for the Nimitz, it is currently underway westbound from the strait of malacca. so this will place in total three carriers within reach of the middle east theatre of operations."

GRA: So a "decision" will be made when all the pieces of the puzzle are in place. Imho.

N.S.: Apparently, the President wanted to preserve the element of surprise. And so, he did. I believe (though I hate the phrase) he was also sending a message to red china.
