Trump Takes Iran Seriously, Here Is Full List Of Firepower That The US Military Is Sending To Middle East Right Now To Counter Latest Iranian Threat
The US military is sending a ton of massive firepower including the USS Abraham Lincoln to take on threats from Iran — here’s everything headed its way.
In response to the threat of a possible attack on US military forces by Iran, the US military decided to send additional firepower to the Middle East. This includes an aircraft carrier with a full carrier air wing, one cruiser, four destroyers, a group of heavy bombers, fighters, an expeditionary warship, and a surface-to-air missile battery.
On Monday, we told you that in response to threats from Iran, the US military had authorized the USS Abraham Lincoln to be deployed to the Middle East. Yesterday, the Lincoln passed through Egypt’s Suez Canal. Iran said they could take out the Lincoln with a single missile, and guess what? The United States is talking them seriously and sending quite an impressive array of ships, planes and firepower. The full list is in the article here below.
NBC News reports that “In a highly unusual move, national security adviser John Bolton convened a meeting at CIA headquarters last week with the Trump administration’s top intelligence, diplomatic and military advisers to discuss Iran, according to six current U.S. officials. The meeting came amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as the Trump administration piles pressure on Tehran’s economy through crippling sanctions. Days after it took place, Bolton, citing indications of an increased threat from Iran, announced the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber squadron to the Persian Gulf. He warned Tehran that “any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”
It is very unlikely that the US military would send this much raw firepower simply as a ‘show of force’. The last time they sent this much at one time to the Middle East, precision guided missiles rained down on Syria in response to chemical attacks on their own people. Trump is planning something for the Iranians, something big indeed.
The US is sending a ton of firepower to take on Iran — here’s everything headed its way
FROM BUSINESS INSIDER: The US military is sending a carrier strike group, a bomber task force, fighter jets, an amphibious landing ship, and a surface-to-air missile battery to the Middle East as a show of force to Iran. There is a ton of firepower heading that way.
The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which consists of the carrier and its powerful carrier air wing, as well as one cruiser and four destroyers, began moving into the region with an unspecified number of B-52 Stratofortress heavy long-range bombers earlier this week.
US Air Forces Central Command announced Thursday that F-15C Eagle fighter jets were repositioned within the theater to “defend US forces and interests in the region.” On Friday, the Pentagon announced that the USS Arlington, an amphibious landing ship, and a Patriot surface-to-air missile battery are on their way.
These assets, according to US Central Command, are being currently deployed in response to “clear indications that Iranian and Iranian proxy forces were making preparations to possibly attack US forces in the region.”
Aircraft carrier: USS Abraham Lincoln
Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, previously described aircraft carriers as a “tremendous expression of US national power.” A carrier strike group is an even stronger message. “CSGs are visible and powerful symbols of US commitment and resolve,” US European Command said in a statement on Tuesday.
The USS Abraham Lincoln, a mobile sea-based airfield, is the lead ship for the carrier strike group that bears its name and is outfitted with a highly capable carrier air wing.
Carrier air wing: fighters, electronic-attack aircraft, early-warning aircraft, and rotary aircraft
Carrier Air Wing Seven consists of F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growler electronic-attack aircraft, E-2 Hawkeye early-warning aircraft, and a number of rotary aircraft from multiple squadrons capable of carrying out a variety of operational tasks.
Cruiser: USS Leyte Gulf
Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers are multi-role warships that run heavily armed with 122 vertical-launch-system (VLS) cells capable of carrying everything from Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles to surface-to-air missiles and anti-submarine-warfare rockets.
4 destroyers: USS Bainbridge, USS Gonzalez, USS Mason, and USS Nitze
Like the larger cruisers, destroyers are also multi-mission vessels. Armed with 90 to 96 VLS cells, these ships have air-and-missile defense capabilities, as well as land-attack abilities.
Early in the Trump presidency, two US Navy destroyers devastated Shayrat Airbase with 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles to punish the Syrian regime in the aftermath of a chemical-weapons attack.
Bombers: B-52s
The B-52 is a subsonic high-altitude bomber capable of carrying nuclear and conventional payloads. These hard-hitting aircraft can carry up to 70,000 pounds of varied ordnance and can be deployed to carry out various missions, including strategic attack, close air support, air interdiction, and offensive counter-air and maritime operations.
Fighters: F-15C Eagles
The F-15s in the region were reportedly seen carrying live missiles, including the six AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and two AIM-9X Sidewinder’s for air-to-air combat, The Drive reports.
The Pentagon has not specifically announced the movement of these fighters as a response to Iran, but the timing of the repositioning is noteworthy.
Amphibious Landing Ship: USS Arlington
A San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock is able to move Marines, amphibious assault vehicles, conventional landing craft, and rotary aircraft to support amphibious assaults, special operations, or expeditionary warfare missions, the Pentagon explained in a statement Friday.
Air-and-Missile Defense: Patriot battery

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN: Emmanuel Macron Says Greenland Not For Sale And That France Will Open A Consulate To Stop Trump From Annexing Island
Emmanuel Macron and France have thrown down the gauntlet on Greenland to US President Donald Trump to quell his territorial global ambitions
In June 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Greenland and publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated talk about the United States potentially taking control of the strategically important Danish autonomous territory. Just the other day, France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said France will open a consulate in Greenland, scheduled for 6 February 2026 in the capital, Nuuk. Now we have a fight, let the battle for global supremacy begin.
” Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.” Psalm 140:1,2 (KJB)
Greenland sits astride Arctic shipping lanes, missile-defense corridors, rare earth mineral deposits, and future trade routes that will explode as polar ice continues to recede. Whoever influences Greenland influences the Arctic, and whoever dominates the Arctic controls a critical slice of the next global power structure. What we are watching is the slow resurrection of imperial competition, dressed up in modern language about sovereignty, cooperation, and diplomacy.
In June of 2025, Emmanuel Macron visited Greenland to show France’s support for the island, and to give a warning to Trump that NATO would not let him take it. Trump says he will take it, and nothing will stop him. How does all this end? pic.twitter.com/EJyVtZ6wa3
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 14, 2026
But underneath the polite press releases is the same old struggle for dominance that brought us World Wars I, II, and before you know it, III. Not only is France now daring the United States to make a move against its soon coming consulate, but Emmanuel Macron is personally daring Donald Trump to fulfill his inflammatory rhetoric.
Trump’s statements on Greenland in January
1. “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.” Said at a White House meeting with oil and gas executives, explaining his intent to act on Greenland because of what he claims are strategic threats from Russia and China. source
2. “We’re going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.” Trump added that he’d prefer a “deal” but hinted at tougher measures if necessary. source
3. “Anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is unacceptable.” Trump insisted that U.S. control of Greenland was essential to him and urged NATO support for that aim. source
4. Implied urgency: “We need Greenland for national security, right now.” When asked if he was serious about taking Greenland, Trump said the island was needed for U.S. and allied security. source
Yesterday we wrote about the Christian Nationalists in the MAGA Movement who are not only cheering Trump on to take Greenland, they are demanding he not only take the island, but Canada as well. If Trump waits too much longer on Greenland, and France opens up their consulate as they have said they are, then the United States will essentially be waging a military operation against not only multiple NATO allies but against NATO itself. Has this been the plan all along? Will the United States form an alliance with Russia? Think before you answer, Christian, we are living in perilous times where strange things are taking place. You better get back to the Bible!
Invading Greenland? A Strategic Mistake of a Lifetime
Donald Trump is once again floating the idea of U.S. control over Greenland, framing it as a national security necessity. But behind the rhetoric lies a scenario far more dangerous than it appears. From Arctic geography and brutal weather to NATO fallout and Nordic resistance, a Greenland invasion could spiral into a strategic nightmare for Washington. The question isn’t whether the U.S. could invade—but whether it could survive the consequences.

Donald Trump
MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Wildly Applauding Donald Trump’s Territorial Ambitions To Fold Canada And Greenland Into Some ‘Greater America’ Dystopia
MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Cheering As President Donald Trump Floats Absorbing Canada And Greenland Into A ‘Greater America’ dystopia
On social media this week, self-described MAGA Christian nationalists erupted in applause after Donald Trump once again floated the idea of bringing Greenland—and now even Canada—under the control of the United States. What once sounded like typical Trump negotiating bravado has begun to harden into something more ideological, and we dare say, more sinister: the vision of a ‘Greater America’. You’re hearing it here for the first time, but I promise you, it will soon be coming from official White House messaging. It was a bad idea when Hitler tried it, and it’s an even worse idea now.
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)
History is littered with grand national visions that promised security, restoration, and destiny through expansion. In the 20th century, Europe watched a similar dream unfold under the banner of a ‘Greater Germany’, complete with mythic language, strongman leadership, and the promise of national revival with global results. It did not end well. Yet online today, Trump’s rhetoric is not being met with caution, but celebration. How can this be, have we learned nothing from the past 100 years of human history? Evidentially not.
To his most ardent supporters, Trump is not merely a former president pushing boundaries. He is portrayed as a providential strongman—a Cyrus-like figure—who will restore American dominance, redraw borders, and impose order on a crumbling world. But Scripture issues a direct warning against placing hope in political saviors. Nevertheless, the louder the rhetoric becomes, the louder the applause grows. Canada is dismissed as ‘weak and unserious’. Greenland is spoken of as a ‘strategic prize’ waiting to be claimed. Critics are brushed aside as globalists, traitors, or faithless cowards. What is absent from the discussion is any appreciable amount of biblical discernment.
Just in case you weren’t exactly sure where world wars come from, this is as good a place as any. https://t.co/sZyakxeDis
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 12, 2026
The Bible does not teach that America is a covenant nation. Nor does it authorize Christians in the Church Age to pursue national expansion as though it were God’s work. That calling belonged exclusively to Old Testament Israel under a theocratic covenant—not to the body of Christ. The 7 Mountains Mandate has nothing common with Pauline doctrine. Zero. In fact, we warned you back in 2024 before Trump’s re-election that the majority of his MAGA followers were Charismatic Christian Nationalists, but sadly, very few listened.
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20 (KJB)
The language surrounding this moment is becoming increasingly messianic, with political ambition framed as destiny. Territorial growth is spoken of as righteousness. Power itself is treated as proof of divine favor—despite the explicit rejection of that very mindset in scripture.
“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36 (KJB)
The danger is not merely political enthusiasm—it is political idolatry. Scripture warns that as the end of the Church Age approaches, men will prefer fables over truth and charisma over doctrine.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJB)
A ‘Greater America’ may sound bold, reassuring, even patriotic. But the Bible reminds believers that our battle is not fought with borders, ballots, or brute force.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)
Supporting a political candidate is one thing. Recasting him as a divinely appointed architect of national expansion is something else entirely. When Christians cheer the absorption of nations as though it were God’s redemptive plan, they have confused nationalism with Christianity—and power with providence.
America does not need to become greater in size. The Church does not need a strongman. And Jesus Christ does not need a human geopolitical empire to reign.
“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)
Even at this late hour, history whispers warnings for those willing to listen. Grand visions of national destiny have a way of demanding unquestioned loyalty, silencing dissent, and baptizing ambition in religious language. If you support Trump’s ‘Greater America’ just remember that history is against you every bit as much as the Bible is against you. The Bible calls believers to something a lot higher, something eternal. The answer has never been a Greater America. It has always been the gospel of Jesus Christ—rightly divided, faithfully preached, and boldly believed until He comes, and He’ll be here sooner than you think.
