[...] after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US Navy vessels.

Some more information on those two U.S. Navy vessels which had been targeted would be greatly appreciated!

Did the Iranian missiles hit their targets? Were any U.S. servicemen injured / killed? What were the names of the two U.S.N. vessels? How were the Iranian ballistic missiles shot down - or did they merely fail to strike their targets?

This report is frustratingly vague and low in content!

Regards,

Uncivilized MoFos do not give advanced warning before terror attacks.

3-minute warning. Sorta like a DUI count down from 100 check.

Should be good for oil prices next week.

Love it but IRGC should not have owned any floating tankers since 1979.

You have three minutes to get off and two minutes and 45 seconds are gone.

It would be more quickly convincing to go asymmetric - for each US or allies or even neutral ship the Iranians fire on, we take out the distillation tower(s) at an Iranian refinery. This could be done with cheap Ukie (or Iranian style) style drones. Next would come major storage, and any potential import terminals outside our blockade.

The Mullahs and IRGC can’t effectively run the country without refined products, and no further or future disruption of crude oil supplies would occur unless the Iranians make the mistake of making more attacks - in which case the refined products noose will close on them even faster.

Some of those secondary fires look like volatiles or refined products...?

ya know, after the Valdez “environmental Disaster”, I can only imagine what the coastline of the Hormuz gulf must look like... I mean there has been a helluva lot of ships that got wasted there! I’m sure it is more than the 11 million gallons the Valdez had on her!

The Iranians will retaliate now. Just a matter of how.

Destroyed how? Disabled? Set on fire? Sunk?

We gave 'em a lot more than that during Operation Praying Mantis. I guess Reagan was a wimp ...

Those "B&W images" look like IR, to me ... and they're remarkably clear. Our tech seems to have greatly improved of late.

“The United States military destroyed three Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps crude oil tankers in the Persian Gulf Saturday – after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US Navy vessels.”

FAFO ...

In other news, Iran's propaganda outlets, that at times mimic US’ propaganda outlets, reported the neutralization/bombed 3 oil tankers in response.

Crude prices will flesh this out. Needless to say, Howard on Team Trump is loving every aspect of higher crude prices.

Wouldn't it be better to sieze the tankers and keep the oil?
