Let's not forget the real reason why this is going to happen is because Iran is ruled by a wicked pagan cult that cratered their own economy and society purely out of coruption and then massacred over 40,000 of the youth. The sacrifice of the Millennials and Gen Z will not be in vain, Iran will be free, praise Jesus.

As the ongoing buildup of military aircraft in Europe and the Middle East by the U.S. Air Force rapidly intensifies, the chances of renewed strikes by Israel against Iran have also begun to increase, with the possibility of strikes by the end of June currently at 56%.

17 tankers....huge IMO.

At least 17 tankers, alongside some C-17's and an E-3 Sentry, are currently moving toward Europe and the Middle East.

In the past 24 hours, 6 USAF E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft have been observed deploying from the U.S. to Europe:

• 2x E-3Gs (DENALI 01 & 02) from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska to RAF Mildenhall, UK
• 4x E-3Gs (SHUCK 83, 84, 85 & 86) from Tinker AFB, Oklahoma to Ramstein AFB, Germany

The scale and timing of this movement point to a clear shift in U.S. force posture as the military buildup tied to the Middle East accelerates. Large E-3 deployments are widely seen as a late-stage indicator ahead of potential major air operations.

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and its strike group were recently (as of February 17-18, 2026) transiting or had just entered the Strait of Gibraltar from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean Sea, based on open-source reports, social media confirmations, and Navy-related tracking. From the original post you linked (dated around mid-February 2026), it described the carrier approaching/entering Gibraltar at about 18.2 knots on what aligns with February 17-19 transit timing. Current status (as of February 18, 2026 ~10 AM EST):
  • The carrier has likely just passed through or is immediately east of the Strait of Gibraltar, now in the western Mediterranean.
To reach the Strait of Hormuz (entry to the Persian Gulf / Arabian Gulf operational area):
  • Typical naval transit route: Mediterranean → Suez Canal → Red Sea → Bab el-Mandeb Strait → Gulf of Aden → Arabian Sea → Strait of Hormuz.
  • Approximate sea distance: ~3,200–3,500 nautical miles (depending on exact routing, avoiding hazards, and canal transit).
  • Typical sustained speed for a carrier strike group on long transits: 15–20 knots (often around 18–20 knots when pressing, as seen in the Gibraltar approach at 18.2 knots; they don't always go max speed to conserve fuel/maintain escorts).
Estimated time remaining:
  • At ~18 knots average: Roughly 7–9 days from Gibraltar/Med entry.
  • This puts a potential arrival near the Strait of Hormuz around February 25–27, 2026, assuming no major delays (Suez Canal transit usually takes 12–18 hours but can involve waiting/convoy; plus any pauses for ops, weather, or refueling).
Some open assessments from mid-February 2026 reports suggested the carrier could reach strike/operational range of Iran around February 20 if already well into the Med—but that appears optimistic or based on earlier positioning. More realistic tracking (including mid-Atlantic to Gibraltar taking ~7–10 days prior) points to late February for Hormuz proximity.

Open Source Intel on X: "Traveling at 24 knots, the Ford would reach the Middle East theater in approximately 3 to 4 days, so around sunday it should be here. Massive respect to the sailors for such a long deployment." / X

We should also realize that with all the air tankers they have already moved into the theater they could launch an attack sooner and use that approaching aircraft carrier to keep Iran off balance by striking before they arrive. They can launch 500 aircraft from both aircraft carriers and Israel pretty much at any time now. Not only so I would not be surprised if they send 1,000 drones as well.

"Trump is getting fed up, some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks" a Trump advisor told AXIOS
 
Ezekiel 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

The success of BRICS as a reserve currency depends on being able to buy oil using the currency. If Trump can shut that off from both Venezuela and Iran BRICS will collapse and the US will continue to be the reserve currency. No doubt Russia's agreement to be part of BRICS includes it being able to protect the oil flowing out of the Middle East to BRICS nations. That security agreement is a hook in the jaw of Russia. What we are seeing right now with this gathering war on Iran is the hook in the jaw of Russia bringing them down to fight in the middle east. Interesting that right now for them to do this would require them being turned back from Ukraine.

NEW: Israel is preparing for a “large, multi-front scenario,” Israel’s Home Front Command chief, Maj. Gen. Shay Kalper, told a Knesset briefing, according to i24news.
 
BREAKING

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Massive amount of US tankers are heading to the Middle East

25 American tankers are currently on their way to the Middle East

The US wants to keep as many aircraft as possible in the air against Iran, knowing that air bases may be at risk

Several days before Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER commenced, we witnessed a large amount of USAF tankers launch from CONUS and station themselves in Europe and the Middle East.

4 days before, the F-22s arrived.

The timeline is compressing and zero hour is approaching.
