The Iranian Threat

Two more US aircraft carriers headed for Gulf

Two additional United States naval aircraft carriers are heading to the Gulf and the Red Sea, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Kuwait Times.

Kuwait began finalizing its "emergency war plan" on being told the vessels were bound for the region.

The ship movements coincide with the latest downturn
in relations between Washington and Teheran. The US and Iran are at
odds over Iran's nuclear program, which the Bush administration claims
is aimed at producing material for nuclear weapons; however, Teheran
argues it is only for power generation.
