There’s some buzz that the U.S. is ready­ing an attack on Iran, pos­si­bly as soon as this Fri­day.
Don’t believe it. I’m due to be on board the _USS Stennis_, believed to be one of the ships tak­ing part in this attack, next week — and it won’t even be in the Per­sian Gulf.
I’m not inclined to believe the US mil­i­tary would be tak­ing reporters on boat rides in the Indian Ocean, for exam­ple, just a few days after the start of a new war. Maybe I’m wrong on this, but my hunch is this is one more rumor that got started by Debka and the usual suspects.
