My Comments:
It costs billions of US Dollars to move that many air and naval assets thousands of kilometers from the US, Europe and Asia into position around Iran. Two aircraft carrier groups (USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald Ford) are also being deployed in the region - at full combat readiness.
The entire Israeli Defence Forces, especially the Israeli Airforce and all their air bases are also at full combat readiness for any strike against Iran.
The Americans have forward air base support in Jordan (Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan - picture above) and I am guessing the Israelis already have secret naval and air bases in the new Somaliland.
Will they strike Iran? President Trump said most recently that they already have the people to take over a new leadership in Iran. Lets see what happens.

MARYAM NAWAZ GOVERNOR OF PUNJAB SAYS 1000 PAK SOLDIERS KILLED BY BLA
Maryam Nawaz (picture above) is the daughter of former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif. The present prime minister Shebaz Sharif is her uncle. Maryam is also the governor of the state of Punjab inside Pakistan. Its all in the family.
In a recent visit to the family of an army captain who was killed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan, Ms Nawaz said that a thousand Pakistani soldiers had lost their lives in the recent Baloch uprising. This is FIVE TIMES more than the 200 or so soldiers killed which was the official figures released by the Pakistan Army.
In another episode the BLA has captured alive SEVEN Pakistani army commandos of the Special Services Group (SSG). The Baloch are holding the seven Pakistani commandos as ransom to be exchanged with Baloch prisoners in Pakistani custody. The Baloch have released videos of the seven captured commandos plus audio. The Baloch have also captured separately another Pakistani soldier Mohamed Sharan (top right of picture), making a total of eight captured Pakistani troops.
However the Pakistani Army has denied their existence and says that it is a fake AI video. The video has circulated widely on both regular media and social media and no one is saying that the video is an AI fake. Except the Pakistan Army.
Basically what it means is that the Pakistani Army is disowning its own troops and leaving them to their own fates at the hands of the BLA.
There is also news that after being jailed in solitary confinement for over 900 days with the light constantly turned on, former prime minister Imran Khan has almost fully lost his sight in one eye. Almost blind in one eye.
Thats just some news from Pakistan.
