USS Enterprise going to the Straits of Hormuz ...
The USS Enterprise, which was set to be decommissioned originally in 2015 was sent to the Mediterranean for ONE LAST deployment, before it's planned earlier decommissioning in 2012. Yes, they moved that ahead three years.
Making the USS Enterprise the perfect sitting duck for a false flag attack.

No false flag is needed.
Iran is giving the world every reason
in the books to attack them.
Threaten the world oil supplies, threat of nuclear weapon,
threat of killing people. Iran is being shoved against a wall
with all the sanctions and would not surprise me they did
attack a ship. Whichever one it may be.

Enterprise has been around a long time. It is a funny shape compared to newer and older carriers.

Their version of Vespers explicitly asks for protection from the radioactive elements that once rained down from the sky. And the first element they ask to be saved from is not uranium, plutonium, or hydrogen but another. "From the rain of the cobalt," the monks pray, "O Lord, deliver us."
Cobalt emerged as a terror during the Cold War (Walter Miller wrote A Canticle for Leibowitz in 1960) because it makes the dirtiest dirty bomb imaginable. "Conventional" nuclear warheads do much of their damage by incinerating people and flattening buildings. Dirty bombs kill almost entirely by radioactivity. The radioactivity from conventional warheads certainly kills, too, but there the radioactive fallout isn't as dangerous overall as in a dirty bomb. Conventional warheads rain down some elements that fire off their radioactivity quickly, depleting their ammunition. Other elements from warheads cling to their radioactive particles for thousands of years. But even though they continue to release radioactivity for a long time, they emit at such low levels that you're not in acute danger. You can wait out the worst of it in a fallout shelter.
Cobalt hits a sweet spot—it fires off just enough radioactivity upfront to kill you (or at least cause serious cancers), but holds onto enough reserves to make wherever the cobalt rain settles inhospitable for future generations, too. Calculations made in 1950 hinted that sprinkling one-tenth of an ounce of cobalt-60 on every square mile of earth (admittedly, a lot of cobalt overall) would wipe out the human race, a nuclear version of the cloud that killed the dinosaurs.

I agree, but I'm not so sure about the Olympics.
Tough to pass up the opportunity to take advantage of that many nations all at once.

I doubt we will see a false flag attack in the foreseeable future, not when everybody is waiting for it to happen, not now and not during the olympics.

Israel does not have any aircraft that can carry the 30,000 lb bunker buster and if a war were to occur with Iran, only the USA could sufficiently harm them, not Israel, so this could possibly be a false flag.

I gotta ask where do you get the 30,000lb weight of bunker busters because im pretty sure there about 2000-5000lbs
It will be deployed in the Navy's Sixth Fleet and Fifth Fleet areas of operations, which cover Europe, Africa and the Middle East, including current hot spots Iran and Syria.
