Three cargo ships have been hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Thailand-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was struck and set on fire 11 nautical miles north of Oman, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said.
Oman’s navy rescued 20 crew members who evacuated the ship in a lifeboat on Wednesday morning, while three remain missing.
A second ship, the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Star Gwyneth, was hit by a projectile 50 miles north-west of Dubai. The vessel suffered hull damage but all crew members are safe.
A third vessel, a Japan-flagged container ship, sustained minor damage near the United Arab Emirates.
Iran has claimed control of the shipping lane, a critical route for 20 per cent of global oil shipments, and threatened to strike any vessel passing through it.

My guess is that they’re going to regret this. Bigly.

The US and Israel attack Iran
Iran attacks everyone else
That’s why we are in this. Iran was always a loose cannon just waiting to go off.

I wonder if the typical Persian approves of this action.

Seize the Strait! - Make it a permanent mult-national base, port, colony.
Never allow it to be held as a terrorist/pirate hostage again.

Iran has claimed control of the shipping lane, a critical route for 20 per cent of global oil shipments, and threatened to strike any vessel passing through it. We should immediately show them they are wrong and are neutered from ever doing it again.

What is that map showing me? Empty slips with our ships already on their way to take care of this?

“That’s why we are in this. Iran was always a loose cannon just waiting to go off.”
Iran has been ‘going off’ for 47 years.
