4 U.S. Air Force KC-135T and 2 KC-135R Aerial Refueling Tankers have Departed from Al-Udeid Air Force Base in Doha, Qatar heading West over Saudi Arabia with some appearing to now be Circling over the Country; that is a lot of Fuel in the Air.

The KC-135T/Rs appear to be with the 171st Air Refueling Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard and the 203rd Air Refueling Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard; they are able to conduct In-Air Refueling of almost every single Aircraft in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy including F-35s, F-18s, F-16s, F-15s, and even B-52 Strategic and B-2 Stealth Bombers.

KC-135s can usually Top-Off roughly 4 Fighter Aircraft each so this means that upwards of 24 Fighters may currently be Airborne over Saudi Arabia.

Hamas Supporters staged a Protest and/or Riot today at the Port of Oakland in California preventing the MV Cape Orlando a Roll-On/Roll-Off Ship with the U.S. National Defense Reserve Fleet from Departing, by Breaching the Gates of the Port and attempting to Climb the Ladder onto the Ship while also Blocking the Entrance to Berth 20 where the Ship was Moored; the Individuals stated they had learned from “Workers” that the Ship was heading to Tacoma, Washington to pick-up Military Aid for Israel and that they were going to prevent that.

But finally after nearly 6 Hours of Delays the NV Cape Orlando has Departed from the Port of Oakland, after the Individuals were Removed from the Ship and Arrested by the U.S. Coast Guard and other Federal Agencies.
Whoever the Worker was that told the Group about the Schedule of the Ship and its Cargo I guarantee you is about to have a Knock on their Door from a Three-Letter Agency in the near Future.
Interfering with the Deployment of a Naval Ship and/or a Ship which is carrying out Missions for the U.S. Department of Defense isn’t going to have a Light Punishment I can promise you that.

U.S. Intelligence Officials told CNN today that they currently believe Iran and Iranian-Backed Groups like Hezbollah are “Holding-Back” their Attacks against the United States and Israel in order to avoid a Major Regional War, which Iran knows would cause Devastation to its Military and Infrastructure.
I guess we are just going to Totally Ignore the almost 40 Attacks on U.S. Forces in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-Backed Forces over the last few weeks.
Iran and Hezbollah are clearly trying to get a Response out of both the United States and Israel, so the opinion that they are “Holding-Back” to avoid a War is Ridiculous and Laughable.
