    The idea of this being some sort of trap/tripwire for Hamas is bizarre. It’s pretty damn easy to not fire on US warships, and doing so might be the biggest strategic blunder you could make

    Regardless it’s also a hotbed of conflict that could easily start spiraling into the rest of the region. A carrier group just offshore can keep an eye on the situation and make sure Iran doesn’t get any crazy ideas
