"Since October 7, more than 1,300 Palestinians in Gaza have died; more than 8,000 have been injured; more than 340,000 have been displaced; and thousands of buildings, including homes, universities and hospitals, were destroyed. Al-Alam and Press TV journalists have been assassinated, and several media centres in Gaza have been destroyed. Eleven UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA) staff members also lost their lives in the shelling. Some died in their homes with their families.

The notorious Israeli intelligence often thwarted resistance well before it started, and/or the perpetrators were swiftly captured or assassinated. The sophistication of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, which has succeeded in roping multiple Palestinian forces, has resulted in groundbreaking sustainability of resistance. The aggression is being rivalled to such measures that after 48 hours of battle, all flights to and from Israel had to be stopped.

The US could have chosen to be a peace broker by empathising with the conditions that led to the large-scale resistance. Instead, President Joe Biden deviated from his stance that he had in his younger years and vehemently denounced the rights of Palestinians to resist. While ironically emphasising apartheid Israel’s right to self-defence, implying that Palestinians’ lives were less important, he pledged more military assistance for Israel, which already receives $3.8 billion a year in US military aid.

Demonstrating this commitment, a plane carrying ammunition and equipment to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday. Furthermore, the US navy dispatched the USS Gerald R Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean. The strike group is comprised of the USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78), with its eight squadrons of attack and support aircraft, the Ticonderoga class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60), the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers (DDG 51), USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116), USS Ramage (DDG 61), USS Carney (DDG 64), USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), and thousands of soldiers. The carrier group is being augmented with the Air Force F-35 in addition to the F-15, F-16 and A-10 fighter aircraft and the approximately 30,000 troops already in the region. A second carrier stands ready to be deployed.

This exaggerated show of force by the US in the region is cause for concern. Hamas’s offensive is asymmetrical. Unlike Israel, it has no air force, navy or military.

The blatant, excessive US presence is unjustifiable and prompts the question of why? The Biden administration has put much effort into influencing dynamics in the region. They shifted from the overt, post-9/11 militaristic approach of the Obama and Trump administrations. The withdrawal from Afghanistan and the initial engagements with Iran around its nuclear programme are demonstrations of this shift in tactics. However, protecting their primary ally in the region remained essential. Therefore, they prioritised building on Trump’s Abraham Accord and focusing on normalising diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab states, namely Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Morocco.

... Even as the Biden administration sought to shift its approach to the Middle East from militaristic to being more developmental, it retained a presence in Iraq and Syria.

In addition, it continued to engage in joint military exercises with Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain in the Red Sea. January saw the second iteration of Red Sands training exercises between the US and Saudi Arabia, which included employing various kinetic and non-kinetic techniques to destroy or disable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). From August 31 to September 14, the US Central Command and Egypt facilitated Bright Star 2023, the oldest multilateral military exercise in the Middle East and Africa, having first occurred in 1980.

Despite US efforts, they have not been able to gain control over the region. Relations between Jordan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been re-established with Syria. In May this year, Syria was readmitted into the Arab League. In August, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were invited to form part of BRICS plus. Operation al-Aqsa Flood makes a mockery of their interventions related to Israel. And within the broader geopolitical sphere, the US-Nato-Ukraine-proxy war is a failure. The emergence of a multi-polar world order is becoming increasingly probable, thereby increasing the volatility and desperation of the US.

It is feared that Operation al-Aqsa Flood might provide the US with the long-desired opportunity to deal with the “Axis of resistance” once and for all. Any such aggression will definitely ignite a conflict of global proportions.

Already, there are efforts to provoke Lebanon and Syria into joining the conflict. Biden’s warning about external interference and the heavy presence of the US military imply that they will intervene should Lebanon and Syria come to the assistance of Palestine. The Nato defence ministers, through Jens Stoltenberg, have also pledged that Israel will not stand alone, inferring a willingness to engage in military combat.

The millions of corpses in the region testify to the devastation that the US-Israeli-Nato alliance can sow. Therefore, Hezbollah has been careful in its response to date, only acting within occupied Lebanese territory. Likewise, Syria has primarily relied on its air defence to manage the Israeli attacks from occupied Golan, including the bombing of Damascus and Aleppo airports this month. Neither country wants to be drawn into further war.

However, both have vigorously defended the right of the people of Palestine to resist and indicated a preparedness to fight should the US enter the conflict more prominently.

The primary target of the US and Israel, namely Iran, also wishes to avoid a war in the region. However, it is already participating in plans for an emergency session for the heads of the councils of member states of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation. The meeting will discuss the repercussions of the apartheid-Israel aggression on Gaza and how best to provide humanitarian support. ... We have witnessed the human, social and economic costs of the Ukraine-Russian conflict. An extension thereof is undesirable. We, particularly the world’s leaders, must wake up to what the US is dragging us into and make greater efforts to resist it."

U.S. will deploy F-35 aircraft carrier and fighter attack group near Israel

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/09/2023 - 08:53am in Military, War Zones

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced on Sunday that he ordered the attack group of aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean to prepare to help Israel after the recent Hamas attack, which resulted in more than 1,000 victims on both sides.

Just a few hours ago, more than 250 music lovers lost their lives at the Supernova festival, held in the southern desert of Israel, when Palestinian militants invaded the festival and opened fire in a surprise attack. A siren sounded at dawn, warning of the arrival of rockets, quickly followed by shots, according to eyewitnesses.

On October 9, the Israeli military reported that Hamas held hostages in Gaza and that the conflict resulted in more than 700 victims, with more than 2,150 injured. In addition, 3,284 rockets were fired from Gaza.

Secretary Austin said he spoke with Israel's Defense Minister Gallant to express U.S. support for the people of Israel and to receive updates on Israel's efforts to restore security and protection after the Hamas attack.

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, will lead this mission, accompanied by cruisers and destroyers, including the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG60) and the Arleigh-Burke-class guided missile destroyers USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116), USS Ramage (DDG 61), USS Carney (DDG 64) and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80). They will be deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean, near Israel.

The aircraft carrier attack group, based in Norfolk, Virginia, has already been in the Mediterranean last week, conducting naval exercises with Italy in the Ionian Sea. This deployment marks the first complete deployment of the aircraft carrier.

In addition to the repositioning of the aircraft carrier attack group, Secretary Austin plans to increase the presence of U.S. Air Force squadrons with F-35 Joint Strike Fighters stealth aircraft, as well as F-15, F-16 and A-10 squadrons in the region, as recommended by the secretary in the statement.

Secretary Austin reiterated the United States' unwavering support for Israel's right to self-defense and provided updates on U.S. actions in response to the situation. He emphasized that these measures aim to strengthen the U.S. military stance in the region to improve regional deterrence efforts.

He also informed Minister Gallant that the United States is sending additional equipment and resources, including ammunition, to reach Israel in the coming days.

Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact for the next few days and weeks.

Hamas is recognized by the U.S. Department of State as a foreign terrorist organization and governs Gaza, a territory that the State Department considers occupied by Israel.

US Navy USS Roosevelt (DDG-80) Completes Maintenance Period in Spain

The U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) completed its planned Selected Restricted Availability (SRA), a depot-level maintenance period in Rota, Spain, March 27, 2024. Executing its largest maintenance availability to date, Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center (FDRMC) Detachment Rota successfully completed the planned maintenance requiring 30,600 mandays of work in just 117 days, a significant effort accomplished by effective planning and coordination. Planned maintenance periods like SRAs maintain safety and mission-essential equipment, implement modernization on key systems, and ensure the ship will reach its planned service life. Maintenance during the SRA included work on the ship's propulsion system, replacement of the flight deck coating and preservation of the helicopter recovery assist, secure and traverse system track. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak #usnavy

Grupo de ataque del portaaviones USS ha llegado al mar Mediterráneo

El Grupo de Ataque del Portaaviones USS Gerald R. Ford llega al Mar Mediterráneo Oriental con el fin de disuadir a cualquier actor que busque escalar la situación o ampliar esta guerra.

El portaaviones de la Armada de los Estados Unidos El USS Gerald R. Ford es el portaaviones de élite de su tipo en cualquier parte del mundo, capaz de una fuerza de combate abrumadora y deslumbrante. Si esto se enviara para defender a Israel contra Hamas, sería una increíble pérdida de tiempo, recursos y dinero. Pero no fue enviado para proteger a Israel contra Hamas, fue enviado para evitar que la Tercera Guerra Mundial tuviera lugar.

"Ahí van las naves: allí está el leviatán, a quien has hecho jugar en ellas". Salmos 104:26

Sigue la guerra entre Israel y Hamas, y cada nuevo día trae consigo asombrosas y horribles revelaciones del nivel bíblico de muerte y destrucción.

Si crees que las cosas están mal ahora, y lo están, espera hasta que los 300.000 soldados que Israel tiene ahora mismo en la frontera de Gaza comiencen la invasión terrestre. Será en ese momento cuando el mundo colectivo que odia a Israel perderá su mente colmena colectiva. Enviar el USS Gerald R. Ford no solo era una buena idea, era necesaria.

Las fuerzas en el área incluyen el portaaviones de la Armada de los EE. UU. USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), con sus 8 escuadrones de aviones de ataque y apoyo, y el crucero de misiles guiados de la clase Ticonderoga USS Normandy (CG 60), así como los destructores de misiles guiados de la clase Arleigh Burke USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116), USS Ramage (DDG 61), USS Carney (DDG 64) y USS Roosevelt (DDG 80).

Los esfuerzos para aumentar la postura de los EE. UU. continúan, incluido el rápido movimiento hacia el teatro de operaciones de los F-15, F-16 y A-10 de la Fuerza Aérea de los EE. UU. para aumentar los escuadrones de combate existentes en la región.

[randaahmed4012]

In addition to the 5 Ships of Carrier Strike Group 12 it now also appears that the USS Carney (DDG-64) and the USS Roosevelt (DDG-80) both Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyers in the Western Mediterranean are also being Deployed in the direction of Israel.

Τουρκικά πολεμικά πλοία ρίχνουν άγκυρα στα κατεχόμενα

Διπλωματία

29/08/2023 - 11:34

Tουρκικά πολεμικά πλοία θα επισκεφθούν τα λιμάνια της κατεχόμενης Κύπρου με την ευκαιρία της ημέρας της Νίκης στις 30 Αυγούστου και της Ημέρας των Τουρκικών Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων.

Σύμφωνα με το Γραφείο Τύπου και Πληροφοριών, το τουρκικό ενημερωτικό κανάλι «A Haber» μετέδωσε χθες ότι η κορβέτα TCG Bandirma θα επισκεφθεί το λιμάνι της κατεχόμενης Αμμοχώστου και η κορβέτα TCG Bartın το λιμάνι της κατεχόμενης Κερύνειας.

Στις 30 Αυγούστου 2023, μεταξύ 10.00-17.00, η κορβέτα TCG Bandırma (F-502) θα είναι ανοικτή για το κοινό στο λιμάνι της κατεχόμενης Αμμοχώστου και η κορβέτα TCG Bartın (F-504) θα είναι ανοικτή για το κοινό ανοικτά του λιμανιού της κατεχόμενης Κερύνειας.

Με τον τρόπο αυτό θεωρείται ότι οι τουρκικές Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις  θα δώσουν το μήνυμα "Είμαστε εδώ" στις ΗΠΑ και την Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία, οι οποίες «εμπλέκονται σε προκλητικές ενέργειες με τις ΗΠΑ στη Μεσόγειο»,  ισχυρίζεται το τουρκικό δίκτυο με αναφορά στην πρόσφατη αγκυροβόληση του αμερικανικού αντιτορπιλικού  κατευθυνόμενων πυραύλων USS Roosevelt (DDG-80) στη Λάρνακα.
