End the Lie: Western Troops, Firepower Moved to Persian Gulf!
According to the report, troops have already arrived just south of the Strait of Hormuz at the Omani island of Masirah, where an American Air Force base is located. This appears to be on top of the 15,000 troops in Kuwait, three carrier strike groups in the region, arming of states surrounding Iran, and more, all of which has been heavily documented on "End the Lie" for some time now. According to Trend, the Huffington Post has also reported that an American base on the British isle of Diego Garcia, located in the Indian Ocean, now has hundreds of "concrete-bombs capable of destroying fortified underground bunkers" which one assumes is referring to the so-called "bunker buster" bombs, or Massive Ordinance Penetrators (MOPs). If true, this would be interesting given that United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta just claimed that the current bombs are not capable of totally destroying Iranian underground facilities. There are also reports of Saudi Arabia moving parts of their ground forces into the Eastern portion of their nation, which is where the main oil production facilities are located. This would be in addition to the new and refurbished jets being brought into Saudi Arabia thanks to the United States. The report from Trend comes on the heels of a report published by Israeli propaganda outfit DEBKA file, which has previously pumped out disinformation which I covered in detail at the time.
