Is the U.S. preparing for war with Iran?
A "Prepare to Deploy" order was recently sent through naval communications channels to a submarine, an Aegis-class cruiser, two minesweepers and two mine hunters. It didn't actually command the ships out of port; it just said to be ready to move by Oct. 1.
Can anything short of war persuade Tehran's fundamentalist regime to give up its dangerous game?
"We're trying to prevent a situation in which the president finds himself having to decide between a nuclear-armed Iran or going to war, said an administration official.
