Note: There isn't any information on the Ford, Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Reagan, and Truman. They are in port or out to sea.

The USS Stennis is undergoing reactor replacement.

closing waterways to international shipping and commerce will cause the perpetrators’ deaths for sure

1. It is not physically possible to close the strait of Hormuz, unless Iran invades the waterways of Oman.

2. China desperately requires Iranian oil (77% of total Iranian oil is exported to China; China is Iran's biggest trade partner) and the PRC would not tolerate this action.

At what point is cheering for the “Death to America” mullahs and hamas baby rapists a zottable offense?

Well Iran has a chitload of silk worms that could cause real trouble in the straits but if they go that route and manage to hit any of our naval vessels the cofafaye will really bit the fan. The regime would be wiped out. Most of their neighbors would cheer.

The USN once destroyed Iran’s navy and could do it again if needed. Vid shows how it was done in 24 hours.

“Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz”

If they use that capability, they will lose that capability.

"If Tel Aviv is being pummeled Tehran is being wiped off the map."

I don't understand why some post such nonsense. If Israel did as much damage as they claim last night, Iran is pretty much a paper tiger as of now. Of course, Israel may not have destroyed every Iranian ballistic missle, but it has been verified that Israel currently owns the skys over Iran. I read where Israel aircraft are refueling over Iran.

I don't want war of any kind, but the Mullahs have been asking for this for years. My position is: Let Israel keep destroying all Iranian systems and especially Leadership. Who knows, maybe the Iranian citizens may create an uprise against those Tyrants and join the civilized nations of the ME. I can dream...

Every Persian I've met in my life were personable, responsible, hate the Mullahs and admire American history and causing the spread of Liberty. A Persian family just moved in next door. They couldn't be more friendly and yes I've discussed the Iranian problem and the poor man almost cryed.

They are in port or out to sea.
Other than dry docked where else could they be, unless sunk.

Like how they’re pummeling Tel Aviv?

If you think that is "pummeling" you need to go back to "English for Psyops Officers" and study harder.

Of course they will. They don’t care and they want to drag the U.S. into this party and play the role of the victim. I suspect the UN will issue resolutions and speeches etc.

I’m so glad we developed frakking and horizontal drilling. Now we’re not dependent on any middle eastern shitholes.

I feel much the same way. I went to A-School in the Seventies with Iranians there to learn how to service their US supplied jet engines, and also went to college with many.

I liked those I met. They were intelligent, had engaging personality, and a good sense of humor.

I have always had a high opinion of Iranians, though that changed when the mullahs took over in 1979. I have harbored a deep resentment against Jimmy Carter and the Democrats ever since then.
