Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Czech_pivo]

2100 eastern. And Sec State Marco Rubio is briefing congressional leadership on Iran hours prior.

With the F-22s still transiting and USS Gerald Ford still docked in Souda it’ll probably be just a couple more days yet. Probably not much longer if it’s gonna happen.

Not a very flattering piece on the current conditions on GF. Yes the article is out of India, but it references the WSJ as a source for a fair amount of the information.

Blocked toilets, sewage, clogged pipelines, homesick personnel aboard USS Gerald R. Ford

This aircraft carrier, the most expensive in history and designed to showcase American power, is unable to provide basic sanitation for its own crew.

"Reports indicate that the narrow pipes on the carrier are causing the toilets to clog frequently, forcing hundreds of sailors to wait in line for hours. The Wall Street Journal reports that frequent clogs are causing sewage system failures, impacting the health of the crew."

More than 45 minutes waiting time to use the toilets​

According to the Wall Street Journal, the crew of the USS Ford aircraft carrier has to wait in toilet lines for more than 45 minutes. This aircraft carrier, the most expensive in history and designed to showcase American power, is unable to provide basic sanitation for its own crew. This problem has been ongoing since January.....

Due to the sensitive mission, they are rarely allowed to communicate with their families. They are off social media and cannot use the internet, thus cutting them off from the rest of the world. This is further fuelling their anger.

EDIT: Adding the WSJ -
