Watching naval movements is, John Kiriakou says, one of the very first lessons he learned at the CIA: “if you want to determine American military intentions, watch naval movements.” Troops can be flown anywhere, but sending an entire aircraft carrier strike group “means business,” and sending two “means war.”[1] He used the rule — together with a tip from a friend at the White House — to publicly predict, days in advance, that the U.S. would strike Iran: two carrier groups had been sent.[2][3]
