US Sends Warships for Possible Evacuations from "Israel"

Local Editor

Three US Navy amphibious warships are returning to the eastern Mediterranean to remain on standby in the event they are needed to assist Americans leaving the Zionist entity in the coming days.

According to two US officials, "An evacuation remains an extremely remote possibility and the Obama administration is not currently planning for one."
But the decision to send the ships even if the event is such a remote contingency underscores the growing concern about where the "Israeli" aggression on Gaza could reach.
"This is due diligence. It is better to be prepared should there be a need," one official said Monday. Both officials said the ships would be used only for assisting Americans and not for any combat role.

The most immediate impact will be on the ships' crews and the estimated 2,500 Marines on board.
The ships involved are the USS Iwo Jima, the USS New York and the USS Gunston Hall. At the end of last week the ships were west of Gibraltar, before the decision was made to turn them around and send them back to the eastern Mediterranean, where they will remain for now.

The US military also maintains three to four ships off the coast of Zionist entity that are capable of shooting down ballistic missiles.
