The Iranians have been pushing their propaganda on multiple fronts. On the sabre rattling side of the house Iran has been circulating this video of their under ground naval equipment. A claim the US has been running with is that Iran can't possibly pose a threat to the straight of Hormuz if most of their large military ships are sunk. But bru... they got thousands of missile boats, drones, ROVs & mines. All in underground cities. #Iran #IranNavy #straitofhormuz #MissileBoar #DroneWar

So there might be a mine warfare situation in DAYS not weeks or months and the US tried and true mine sweepers are on the wrong side of the globe right now. The US Navy is not without a solution. Enter the littoral combat ship, the biggest boondoggle of weapons program run by the Navy in recent memory. An untested ship that is best known for having a haul that spontaneously cracks apart. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-navy-spent-billions-littoral-combat-ship #MineSweeper #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USNavy #LittoralCombatShip

The Inside Story of How the Navy Spent Billions on the “Little Crappy Ship”

Littoral combat ships were supposed to launch the Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their weapons never worked. Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

#EpicFail - Yesterday Trump encouraged tankers to run the Iranian blockade. This morning we were greeted by videos shot by the first tanker crew to take Trump's advice... showing the crew clinging to life rafts watching the smoking wreck of their ship. Three ships have been struck by Iran in the past 36ish hours. Iran says they're doing IR monitoring of engine heat for signs if any movement without their permission. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #Shipping #Oil #KhameneiAssassination #US #trump

So I imagine Trump's not going to like what German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius had to say about the request to send more ships: "We did not start this war. What does the world expect, what does Donald Trump expect from a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to achieve there in the Strait of Hormuz, which the powerful American Navy cannot manage alone? It is not our war; we did not start it." #DE #Germany #BorisPistorius #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #Shipping #Navy #Trump #EpicFail
