US aircraft carriers to deliver 'direct message to Iran'

Europe and the US have expressed their willingness to return to talks with Iran over its controversial nuclear program. But despite that, the EU is seemingly still set to approve an embargo on Iranian oil. France even says the time to avoid military intervention is running out. As for the U.S., this week it strengthened its presence in the region by sending a second aircraft carrier to the Arabian sea. It's reportedly planning to sail through the Strait of Hormuz which Iran has threatened to block in response to sanctions. The Strait is a strategic waterway which the majority of oil exports from the Gulf to the West pass through. RT discusses the situation around Iran and possible ways out of the crisis with author Michael Winter from Boston.

So true. people think they hear "the truth" by watching polar opposite media that is more biased than the ones they refuse to watch in the first place. This russia today news makes western biases look like child's play.

And at what cost is the us the greatest country in the world? American dollars are being washed with blood, and if physics is any indicator of how reality functions, let me cite the great newton "for every action there is an equal and opposed reaction" If america keeps this warmongering, and tyranny they will pay a far greater price than just a bad economy. Just like all the previous great empires America will fall, I just hope I'm dead by the time it happens.
