Iran has dismissed the U.S. naval war games near its waters as a morale boosting exercise for American forces.Good!
It will make our endeavors at maintaining a civilized humanity that much less painful.

An Iranian Revolutionary Guards naval commander suggested on Monday that Iran's Islamic militia forces would be capable of disrupting strategic Gulf oil shipping routes with a small operation if ever the need arose. Put up or shut up! (LOL)
Lest we forget the rantings of "Baghdad Bob".
The United States Armed Forces could (if need be) remove any vestige of Iran's existence if "need be".

I hope some of the exercises were of countermanding mass multiple targets like speedboats with explosives. Or the use of anything from dolphins to kites of attempting to get explosives near the ships. I have the image of a scene from Waterworld of the submerged watercraft laying a trap and then surfacing, I think that should be considered a valid means and not just a Hollywood special effect.The divers could live in a saturation dive chamber even days before an approaching fleet enters the area.Matter of if or what if someone like me was asked how to do it i would start with building small portable caissons with room to house about a dozen divers and jet skis, shipping containers could be used in very shallow water or hidden along the shoreline spaced just a mile or so apart just waiting for a signal to send hundreds of explosive packed jetskis against our ships or they could have wepons with shaped charges to pentrate hulls.

Carriers are the 500 lb. gorilla of “diplomancy”. Hey, they make me nervous, and I say that as a former AF type.
Go Navy!

Has the CVN Ronald Reagan task force returned to the Gulf yet?
Personally I’m guessing that event plus successful completion of the MOP (30,000 lb bunker buster) tests will portend crowded skies over Iran...

amphibious, air and medical forces Okay, I know what they meant, but I still got a chuckle.
