Four officials tell Newsmax the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (11th MEU) is deploying ahead of schedule from the West Coast and is expected to sail direct through the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East, after the U.S. Navy was ordered by the Pentagon to surge additional fire power to the U.S. Central Command Area-of-Responsibility near Iran.

The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), comprised of the USS Boxer (LHD-4), USS Comstock (LSD-45), and the USS Portland (LPD-27) with the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Group (MEU), is on its way to the Middle East after departing the U.S. west coast for deployment.

@igorbobic Racetrac had gas at $2.39 a gallon before the war. Now the cheapest near me is $3.89. it's going to take more than one less trip to Starbucks to make up for that difference.

Minnesota GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices:
"Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again. Let's just try to be patriots about this"

Oh my god. On the radio, NRSC-endorsed Michele Tafoya says that gas prices are spiking because of the Iran war that she supports and that people should “take one less trip to Starbuck’s” and to “just try to be patriots” about it. #mnsen

@sentdefender Between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, Iran has almost 1,500 miles of coastline...

The Trump Administration is considering deploying thousands of additional combat troops to the Middle East as the military prepares options for the next phase of the ongoing Iran War. One option being discussed for securing the Strait of Hormuz includes deploying U.S. troops to the coastline of Iran, sources tell Reuters.

@sentdefender Wouldn't the growing number of mounds of dirt in the satellite pictures of Isfahan contradict her assessment.

While testifying today in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contradicted claims made by Israel and the Trump Administration both prior and since the launch of strike operations against Iran, stating that Iran’s nuclear enrichment program had been “obliterated” in last year’s Operation Midnight Hammer and that the intelligence community assessed there has been no attempts to resume enrichment activity by Tehran. Gabbard further states that it is not the job of the intelligence community to determine what is and isn’t an “imminent threat,” but instead the job of the President.

@LeahCheshier Just wait until she starts calling back during missions asking for updates. 😅

On console today for an Artemis II sim & the console phone rang. This has NEVER happened to me.
It was a random person who was certain she’d gotten a call from our number. She was properly shocked when I explained that wasn’t possible, as this is NASA PAO in Mission Control. 😂

@michaeldweiss Thankfully for the Ford, Delta can just launch from Florida for this one.

All non-essential personnel have been ordered to immediately depart Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst in New Jersey and the base has been raised to Force Protection Condition (FPCON): Charlie; following reports that “multiple suspicious packages” has been found on base, with a major police response underway.

@michaelh992 So are we going to retake Iraq first to have a staging ground for a massive ground invasion or are we going to fire up the shipyards for D Day part 2 fast boat boogaloo? There's no way 2,500 marines are going to take like 1,500 miles of Iranian coastline
English
What does that mean? The entire coast is massive, would require a very widescale ground operation

Attacking allies as deadbeats, fake countries, U.S. colonies and/or threatening to invade them doesn't, in fact, make them want to rush into a kill box in the Gulf. Go figure.
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

@mikenelson586 @TulsiGabbard I'm sure Rubio has a few extra minutes for another job

Aides to all four other living US presidents tell CNN’s @Sam_Waldenberg and @jeffzeleny that they haven’t spoken to Trump about Iran. Trump claimed today that a former president endorsed the war by telling him “I wish I did what you did.” cnn.com/world/live-new…

@TaylorHose Think anyone would notice if you tried to hide in the capsule while the hatch is being shut? 😅

I did not expect this to blow up this much and there has been some confusion. I am not an astronaut (as much as I wish I was). I am part of a team that supports the Artemis II crew on launch day, which means we also have to quarantine so we do not spread anything to them. Sorry for the confusion!
English
I just realized I won’t be able to see @projecthailmary because we go into quarantine for launch on the 18th. I guess that gives me time to read the book a few more times before I see it after launch on the 1st.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth states that the Strait of Hormuz is “open for transit” and the only thing preventing that is continued drone and missile attacks by Iran.
