The French had an exercise planned in the area for a while....but it does seem like a "coincidence" that a carrier that USN planes can operate off magically appears in the area during "tense times."

Do the British maintain an embassy in Tehran? If so, is it still open?
If so, the British might want to think about recalling their ambassador and staff to London for consultations.
We've been to that particular party, and didn't have a very good time. I'd hate to see the Brits have to endure the experience we had in '79-80.
I haven't enlisted in the military yet. I'm just saying what I would do if ROE dictated defense instead of submission.
There is a French Carrier Group that came in with the Stennis Carrier Group.
Turkey has a backchannel to Tehran. This will become a NATO event before long.
I'm going to put this as diplomatically as possible.
When you've been there and seen the elephant, THEN talk about it. Until then you have no idea what you are talking about. Second guessing veterans is for damned democrats and that's not you since you are here.
Everyone is different.
I'm embarrassed I had to google Stennis! If the French had a carrier there too, that explains why they called the [French] ambassador [to Iran.] It had nothing to do with the 15, is that right?
Bump!
Yeah, but on whose side?
I meant, "Who's side".
Glory be to the Bomb and to the Holy Fallout.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end.
Amen.
My dear everlasting bomb come down among us, to make heaven under earth like the hour of darkness.
Oh, Holy instrument of Allah, Grant us thy truth.
The truth to define in us.
Feel that truth and through that flicker.
Let everyone go to his private shelter. Empty the streets. There to find the city of the dead.
Let the blessing of the Bomb Almighty and the fellowship of the Holy Fallout descend on us all, this day and forever more.
-Glory be to the Bomb

For God's sake STOP talking! Bomb the crap out of these places so these animals know we still have some men with stones who will let them know they are nothing compared to the mite of the U.S. & the Brits. These punks don't respond to talk they know we have all become so P.C. and weak they have the upper hand.

The fact that she's surrounded by a bunch of goons with guns and knives who won't let her go home is one clue that she's under duress.
'Dear Imanutjob;
Congratulations! You said the magic word!
The noise you hear outside your window as you read this are our commandos repelling from your roof who will be flying you to your new home in 60 seconds. Grab your tooth brush!
Happy trails,
Tony
Prayers for the hostages, families, and proud Britain! We're with you.
The letter talks about "Representatives of the House of Commons". "Representatives" isn't a word a Brit would usually use in this context - it sounds completely odd. We talk about "Members" or "politicians" but "representatives" sounds like a foreigner getting confused with the UK and US political systems.
