US weapon bases set for Poland in mid-2016
US heavy military equipment will arrive in Poland in mid-2016 to be based in the north-east and west of the country.
Polish Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak told the Polish press agency (PAP) that Polish-US talks on the issue have entered a decisive phase.
"After talks with our US partners we chose two places for the bases of heavy equipment from the US Army - one in western Poland and one in north-eastern Poland. For now, we do not want yet give further details of where these places are," the minister said.
He added that the centre for exercises between US and Polish troops will remain the training ground in Drawsko Pomorskie in north-western Poland.
"We anticipate that the deployment will take place in mid-2016,” Siemoniak said.
Asked about the deadline for completion of negotiations with the Americans, the defence minister said he expected to "dot the Is" at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels in early October. "I want these cases to be closed by the beginning of October," said Siemoniak.
The distribution of US heavy weapons and military equipment was a topic of conversation during the May meeting between Siemoniak and US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter in Washington.
The move will be the first time the US has stored heavy military equipment in the newer NATO member states in the region. It comes amid growing concern about Russia's foreign policy intentions and calls from Poland to have a stronger NATO presence.

US Navy to Accompany Every US-Flagged Ship Passing Through Strait of Hormuz
The United States Navy warships will now follow all US-flagged commercial vehicles passing through the Strait of Hormuz out of concern that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy ships could seize them, according to media reports on Thursday.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US decision comes as a result of Iran seizing the US-flagged vessel, Maersk Kensington, on Friday, and another cargo ship flagged in the Marshall Islands, Maersk Tigris, on Tuesday, according to media reports.
“US Navy warships will now accompany every US-flagged commercial vessel that passes through the Strait of Hormuz due to concerns that ships from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps navy could try to seize a US cargo ship,” CNN said.

Seems like we should have taken the hint from the seizure a couple of months ago.
Now after seizing two more, we say that we will escort all of them because Iran "could" try and seize more.
How about because they have already seized three?
IMHO, they should not try and soft petal this.
