USS Nimitz Carrier deployed to Persion Gulf

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/trump-pentagon-deploys-uss-nimitz-aircraft-carrier-to-the-persian-gulf-report/

Here is what I believe. At the meeting between Netanyahu and Pompeo with the Saudis Netanyanu gave a heads up that Mossad was going to assassinate the Iranian nuclear scientist. Now Trump is preparing for a possible Iranian counter strike. I believe that the Israelis did this as a provocation to provide an excuse to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities before Biden takes office. Trump just may blunder us into a war yet.

That's what I've read. Lack of info hampers Biden's ability to respond in any way.

This was planned carefully.
