| The Strait of Hormuz |
UPDATED 11 February 2026: USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) CSG-10 has received a WARNORD: prepare to deploy to the Middle East. CSG-10 is currently in the Atlantic Ocean. A subsequent order to deploy will place the air and naval power of two carrier strike groups, and likely two or more fast attack submarines, in striking distance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iranian negotiators will also have one last opportunity to agree to the terms presented.
The Strait of Hormuz seen in the high-altitude image above has, as expected, been named by the Twelver regime as a target to be shut down to maritime traffic in the event of war. Communist China would affected the most. It remains to be determined what type of Twelver action would halt transit through the strait.
It should not be lost on any of the Bride of Christ the transition that has taken place. We're no longer looking forward on things eschatological, but rather we're focused with laser-like accuracy upon current events as they are the fulfillment of prophecy.
UPDATE 13 February 2026: Several media reporting this morning that the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and CSG-12 have been ordered to redeploy back to the Middle East! This would leave the Bush and CSG-10 in the Western Atlantic Ocean.
This news, hopefully in error, was unexpected because the Ford has been deployed at sea since June 2025. However, considering the new 30-day deadline President Trump imposed just yesterday upon Iran this might be a very short-term deployment extension.
