Iran has said it struck two tankers trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the escort of the US military as Donald Trump gathered his cabinet to discuss the stalling war and rising prices as midterm elections in the US loom.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Friday the “non-compliant oil tankers ... were struck and brought to a halt, while four other oil tankers quickly changed course and returned to their previous positions”.

We have at least one ship in the AO that has microwave to scramble drone brains.
Why not use sea fairing drones with the same setup and patrol the area?
Perhaps they can’t damage anything, so it’s not worth it.
Iran also claimed yesterday that they struck our planes in Kuwait, CENTCOM confirmed that was total BS..so believing Iran is like believing MSNBC
Iran has said …
“Does it strike anyone else as odd that we can’t easily take out low tech drones efficiently yet?”
I am waiting for a source other than Iran ...
My only criticism of the war is that key bridges should have been initial targets from the start.
The Irish Times is a Hamas mouthpiece.
The Irish Times is a Hamas mouthpiece.
They are aligned against President Trump, MAGA, and the USA.
So to should all the iranian propaganda networks...
The Irish Times is run by Trump hating children. They are even worse than the British press.
Iran wants to drag this into the fall elections, to make Trump look weak
They are kinda making that the point.
Without boots on the ground there really isn’t going to be any more movement toward our side of the table
And I am not down for our boots
“Iran wants to drag this into the fall elections, to make Trump look weak”

The Iran “war” is going to take another year or more to finish. There’s no easy way out of where we are now.

That is obvious. The MSM and the rats have allied themselves with the Iranians. Think of that. Siding with the jew hating terrorists just to hurt Trump. If the bastards manage to use this to win the mid terms l hope Trump rains hell on them between November and January.
And two aircraft carriers 😎
Exactly. Tehran Bob…
Why is that a stretch? They destroyed thousands of families and small businesses, killed over a million Americans, and stunted the development of a whole generation of schoolchildren with their Covid tyranny. The media demons were in full coordination with the effort.
Siding with the enemy in an existential battle for supremacy sounds pretty much right in character. And all because they hate Trump.
On Newsmax, Rob Finnerty just called on President Trump to “end the war” because of its effect on public opinion and gas prices.
Finnerty is a squish
Czechoslovakia just signed a mutual cooperation with Ukraine to manufacture turbo-jet high speed drones
