U.S. move on troops in the Persian Gulf together

The Israeli news site DEBKAfile is known for its sometimes questionable connections to military and intelligence circles, but it seems very often to correct lie. After her information regarding the combat units that move the U.S. at the moment to the Persian Gulf, have appeared elsewhere already, I will not hide from you:

Three large attack formations of the Navy for this week in the Persian Gulf expected

DEBKAfile's military sources say that the arrival of three American flotilla, the number of U.S. combat units in the waters of the Middle East increased to 5 - one since the outbreak of the crisis over Iran's nuclear program has not yet seen accumulation.

The huge naval and air force consists of more than 40 aircraft carriers, warships and submarines, some of the latter are equipped with nuclear weapons. Such a concentration was last seen just before the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Our military source called 5 reasons for this muscle-flexing of the Americans.

1. The U.S., supported by France, Britain and Canada make their preparations for a partial blockade of Iran managed to prevent the import of gasoline and other refined oil products. This action would indicate that the Bush government has to give up in terms of tougher UN sanctions and now even the scepter in his hand increases.
2. Iran, which imports 40% of its refined gasoline from neighboring countries, is practicing for the blockade of retaliation by the Strait of Hormuz closes down. In this case, are available, the American Navy and Air Force to open the road again, and the Iranian attempt to break through the blockade to fight back.
3. Washington dispatched forces to support and insurance for a probable Israeli air strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
4. A possible rapid sequence of events in which a US-led blockade, Israeli attack and Iranian retaliation in very short time a major military crisis trigger.
5. Since a massive redeployment of this type of planning and needs, can not by their appearance flare-up of the Caucasus war between Russia and Georgia are separated. While Russia has tightened its grip on the Caspian oil resources by its overwhelming military intervention against Georgia, the Americans invest their power to defend the large oil reserves of the Persian Gulf.

The military sources of DEBKAfile called the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Iwo Jima as the three battle groups that are on the way to the Gulf. Already in position, the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea to the Iranian coast and the USS Peleliu, which crosses the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
