US Sends Unmanned Submarines to Persian Gulf
WASHINGTON — The Navy is sending dozens of small unmanned submarines to the Persian Gulf to help detect and destroy mines to prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz in the event of a crisis, U.S. officials said. The Strait of Hormuz is the passageway for a fifth of the oil trade worldwide.
The tiny SeaFox subs carry a television camera, homing sonar and an explosive. The US also has four MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopters, four minesweeping ships, two aircraft carriers and a squadron of F-22 fighters in the Gulf. Two US Army brigades are also stationed in Kuwait.
Each submersible is about 4 feet long and weighs less than 100 pounds. The craft are intended to boost U.S. military capabilities, as negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program appear to have stalled, reported the Los Angeles Times.
As it stands now,
Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the US, Britain and France all have warships in the
Persian Gulf. Syria is already at a
very strategic location to join in the fray when war breaks out.
Jesus
said, "When you see Jerusalem compassed about with armies, know that
the desolation is near" Luke 21:20. Yes, this happened in 70 AD, but
before the return of the Lord, Jerusalem will be compassed about once
again. The Word of God says, "The thing that has been, is that which
shall be, and that which has been done is that which shall be done, and there is no new thing under the sun" Ecclesiastes 1:9.
Many
things that happened when Israel was besieged in 70 AD, will also
happen again before the Lord returns to defend Israel. This encampment
in the Persian Gulf right now has everything to do with Israel. Iran
wants nuclear capability for the primary reason of "wiping Israel off
the face of the map." This has caused the Persian Gulf to come alive
with ships from across the world in Israel's defense, as well as our
own. Iran wants to start a Muslim Caliphate and rule the world.
