One more time we have tankers throughout the region. What exactly is the problem we did this shite in Iraq and Afghanistan toss in Syria and Hillary's lead from behind bullshite in Libya. Multiple refuelings in and out.
I was replying to someone that asked, "Why wouldn’t an aircraft carrier be able to conduct flight operations while transiting?"
I simply stated that you want to get to as close to your target before you commence operations to minimize in-flight refueling operations. It's not an issue in terms of operationality but it is an issue of efficiency. Starting operations while moving closer makes no sense in this situation when we control the timeline. Now if it was more of an emergency I could see deploying our fighters and bombers earlier.
Plus moving assets closer to the target, Iran, appears to be part of the negotiation strategy.

Well the Med carrier will get tanked in on station and out.
Over and over again
Fighter aircraft typically were flying 5-6 hour sorties in Iraq and Afghanistan
Those tanker aircraft have multiple crews per tail like any other aircraft.
So you turn the aircraft n the next crew flies it
Say you have a crew ratio of 3-1 so 3 crews per aircraft deployed at a location
Turn n burn

The Pentagon is raising concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump about the risks of an extended military campaign against Iran.
They are warning that proposed war plans could result in U.S. and allied casualties, depleted air defenses, and an overtaxed force.
Something else is afoot. Russian and Chinese military assets have been moved into the region that has changed the calculus?

What Russian and Chinese junk are you concerned about?

I can see them giving him a risk assessment.
I don’t see the US having “massive casualties”. Iran will indiscriminately fire missiles at allies cities so there would be casualties.
Israel operated there and had air superiority for a week with no lost planes. We would likely lose a few, but I think this is democratic and foreign Russia/ China/ Iran propaganda.

It won't be indiscriminate. They will aim them directly at Tel Aviv. The question will they be effective or not. Israel seems to be concerned.

Didn't China resupply? Isn't this why Bibi is calling for not only knocking out their remaining nuclear capability but their ballistic missiles too?
