We should probably send a few at least, and some other support vessels I'd imagine.

Iran warned the United States Tuesday not to return a U.S. aircraft carrier "to the Persian Gulf region."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will not repeat its warning," said Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, commander of Iran's Army, according to the state-run news agency IRNA.

Salehi "said the country will not adopt any irrational move but it is ready to severely react against any threat," the report added.

The commander spoke at the Port of Chabahar in southern Iran, as forces held a military parade the day after Iran ended naval drills in the region, IRNA reported.

Rich people arguing over territory, who cares. Give me one good reason why I should care about any of this.

I think we should pack all of our profanity up from the middle east and move it back home so we can work our own problems out before we go starting another war we can't afford.

Iran has been gunning for a war for a while. It would be in our best interests to not oblige them. We should pull out as many as we can.

Just one, but we'll also send them a picture of the fleet with a few more photoshopped in.

Business as usual. One carrier in or around the Gulf at all times.

I can imagine some terrorist attempting to somehow attack an aircraft carrier...

It's just not feasible for a nation to do it.
First they'd have to get past the carrier's escorts, air groups, and their not informidible personal defenses (CIWS, hull plating, etc) to even damage the ship...

...but then they'd have to hold off the holy chit power of the US Navy from virtually flattening their country.

START was signed in Prague, the Department of State released a fact sheet on conventional prompt global strike, pointing out that the new treaty does not put any constraints on development or deployment of conventionally tipped ICBMs

We will hit them with conventional tipped ICBM's first (they can't be stopped or shot down), then submarine launched tomahawks, then ship based tomahawks, only then will we bring the aircraft in followed by the marines, we will only secure the straits so that the oil keeps flowing, we will not invade the entire country.

We will not proceed till we are closer to the election in any case.

The US will be an oil exporting nation again in the next 10 years. Screw the middle east and their crappy crude. Iran needs the US to attack it, the people there are getting sick and tired of the religious fanatics that are making their lives suck. The only way they stay in power is create an external enemy to distract the masses.
