WANA Iran – Feb 3, 2026
A knowledgeable military intelligence source has reported the repositioning of the U.S. Navy’s Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to waters off southern Yemen, a development that has drawn attention amid rising security tensions in West Asia.
According to the source, the U.S. carrier group—accompanied by several destroyers and a support submarine—is currently deployed near the Gulf of Aden, east of Yemen’s Socotra Island. The deployment places the group at an estimated distance of around 1,400 kilometers from Iran’s southeastern port of Chabahar, indicating an increased separation from Iran’s coastal waters compared to its previous positions.
The report comes as Iranian officials have, in recent days, warned about the potential consequences of an escalation in U.S. military actions in the region. Iranian authorities have cautioned that such moves could raise the risk of a broader regional conflict and lead to significant repercussions for global energy markets, including a sharp rise in oil prices.
At the same time, Iran’s Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces has publicly announced a shift in the country’s military doctrine, stating that it has entered a more offensive phase.
Taken together, these developments have heightened international scrutiny of military movements and strategic signaling by key actors in the region, as analysts assess the implications for regional stability.
Yeah, because they don’t want to get their asses shot off! Punks! Iran has S-400s and is prepared & ready. The Satanic Kikes of Israel were wetting their pants at the thought of the ass-kicking they were looking at!
It has probably finally sunk in that Iran is not Venezuela. Body bags will not go down well in the mid-term elections.

Essex MP demands Keir Starmer ‘act now’ to shut Epping asylum hotel
Story by George Thompson Press Association & Freddie Lynne
A shadow minister has called for Keir Starmer to stop his racism and “act now” and shut an asylum hotel which sparked a wave of protests last year.
Dr Neil Hudson, the shadow environment minister, demanded the Prime Minister close the Bell Hotel and “help restore” the town of Epping, in Essex.The Tory MP for Epping Forest said weekly protests continue at the site, and some of them had become violent.
Large-scale demonstrations began outside the hotel over the summer, after an asylum seeker, who had arrived in the UK was housed and later charged, jailed and deported for raping one women sexually assaulting another and a 14-year-old girl.
Other migrants there had minor complaints against them for touching women and girls inappropriately, now known as ” bumstroking” incidents
Keir Starmer said the Government was committed to ending the use of all hotels for asylum seekers. Speaking during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, but refused to send them home. Dr Hudson said: “For months, our communities in Epping have been deeply distressed by the Bell Hotel reopening as an asylum hotel.” My thoughts remain with the victims of the sexual assaults, including the 14-year-old Epping schoolgirl – that trauma compounded by the offender’s mistaken release from prison. Weekly protests continue, some of which have become violent, with injuries to 10 police officers, most of whom sympathise with the protesters
