There were talks that UK knew about the operation beforehand, which makes their overall readiness of their fleet even worse .
Multiple news media reporting that a F-35 took ground fire over Iran, although the video looks sketchy af.
USAF F-35 Makes Emergency Landing After Allegedly Being Hit by Iranian Fire
The F-35 was flying a combat mission over Iran when it was forced to divert to a U.S. airbase. The F-35 was flying a combat mission over Iran when it was forced to divert to a U.S. airbase.www.twz.com
Everyone know what was going to happen when the Ford was ordered to the med.

Just read a hilarious news story where Trump had a meeting with the Japanese PM. He said he attacked Iran without consulting allies because he wanted the element of surprise like Pearl Harbor, then he asked the Japanese PM why didn't you tell us about Pearl Harbor? The smile left her face. lol

All others can send strong worded letters after all.
Their attack on the Iranian natural gas fields shared with Qatar backfired horribly. Once again Trump had to say it wouldn't happen again just like when Israel bombed the Iranian negotiating team in Qatar.
Not a good look imo. Makes the US look weak and under the control of Bibi and his domestic political agenda.
She had said prior to the meeting that it would be very difficult or words to that effect. She could only have imagined how it ended up lol.
Heading to Crete for repairs after serious fire in laundry in early March, apparently also issues with the shitters.

The USS Gerald R Ford has played a significant role in US operations during the war with Iran.

Should be relieved by the USS George H.W Bush.

That was after, when the Ford was ordered to the med you know something was going to kick off.
Clearly Ford has been on station a bit too long with some crews needing some down time. Was this the first extended cruise for the Ford?

I think these huge ships have fires relatively frequently. They are floating castles with kitchens and stuff after all that be on the move months without docking. The bigger thing is that the fact that they don't need three of them in the region anymore.Heading to Crete for repairs after serious fire in laundry in early March, apparently also issues with the shitters.

It is fine. The thing is that Gulf countries will sooner or later have to decide what to do. IRGC is in shambles and out of control so it cannot be reigned it by the central command anymore. If the public unrest or rebellion won't start I would not be surprised if they will just obliterate most of the infrastructure of Iran and then leave.
I am personally more annoyed that they did not put the price cap on WTI oil. The oil companies have gotten too greedy but I guess they did not want to increase Brent price too much for other countries. Would not be surprised if Bessent was involved there and told that it would not be a great idea to price cap it for now.

Yeah I saw the video in this thread a minute ago and I'm still trying to calm down.
I don't know if Trump understands Japanese culture but he just shot himself in the foot.

There are some interesting rumors going around about the latest incident on the Ford.
The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is expected to return to Souda Naval Base in Crete next week from the it current position in the Northern Red Sea, following a recent fire which cause serious damage to some areas of the ship and left over 600 sailors and crewmembers without proper beds. The Ford will return to Crete for refueling, but also for an investigation into the large fire that broke out aboard the vessel on March 12, with investigators probing the possibility that the fire was deliberately caused by crewmembers to terminate their extended mission, according to a source who spoke to the Greek daily newspaper Kathimerini.

True, perhaps, but he can also bring down the world. That's the gravity of holding the position he does. Choices/etc - make them informed ones, not ones based 'gut feeling'. You can do better than that...
Anyway I do vainly wish sometimes you people such as yourself can take up a little more more of a critical view of trump, you know rather than an unwavering support regardless of his actions. I think if he shat in your mother's soup you would still find justification for it.
They had an 8 month deployment in 2023/2024, extended I think because of the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.
