Tensions are certainly mounting after Iran told the US not to return to the Straits of Hormuz with it's aircraft carrier group.
Fuelled with the recent sabre-rattling missile testing exercises in the Straits it's reasonable to assume that this will escalate matters further. Whether that will be speeded up by the supposed return of the John C Stennis remains to be seen.
