I wonder if Obama gave Bibi some bunker-busters? http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_775677.html
Sunday at noon Eastern, the aircraft carrier Enterprise, aka CVN-65, left its home port of Naval Station Norfolk one final time for its final voyage with a heading: Arabian Sea, aka Iran. There, in a week, it will join CVN-72 Lincoln and CVN-70 Vinson (both heavy carriers), as well as LHD-8 Makin Island (light carrier and amphibious assault ship), all of which are supporting any potential escalation of "hostilities" in the Persian Gulf region. Further accompanying the Enterprise is three Norfolk-based guided-missile destroyers — the USS Porter, USS Nitze and USS James E. Williams. (h/t Zerohedge)

In one week, US forces+ in the Persian Gulf surrounding Iran will include:
CENTCOM HQ in Qatar + No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group RAF and the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing of the USAF
Support aircraft and heavy bombers from Diego Garcia
Airbases in Afghanistan
Other support bases in Bahrain and Kuwait
3 heavy aircraft carriers
1 light carrier/amphibious assault ship
3 guided missile destroyers
Amassing forces on an enemy border is almost always a prelude to war.
