We’ll know it’s for real when the chorus of “outraged” Democrats condemn Trump for it.
“Can’t believe Iran has been a thorn in our side since 1979 - time to wrap this one up.”
That’s just one more little goodie we can thank Jimmy Carter for.
We’ll know it’s for real when the chorus of “outraged” Democrats condemn Trump for it.
And some black-robed ex-lawyer with 'Rat connections issues an injunction and demands the US raise the ship and tow it back to Iran.
Full of $100 bills.
So instead of the Iraq strategy we'll use the Libya strategy? Yes, a lot less costly in American blood and treasure, but another failure. There's no plan here.
If the Houthis are blocking shipping lanes, then they’re fair game, along with the countries directly helping them. Something, by the way, that the Europeans will learn if they get too ‘cute’ in Ukraine.

Reuters is also reporting ballistic missile movement at IRGC bases in Iran. There were also reports from Yemen (video) that several senior IRGC members were eliminated in US attacks on Houthi targets.

I don’t want the US involved in any war, ever, but sometimes you can’t avoid having to use military force.
How many American lives have been lost since the fall of the Shah and the beginning of the ‘death to America’ Iran? How much American money has been spent since then? What will happen when Iran develops a substantive nukes capacity?
What the world can’t avoid having is a concerted global effort to defeat and remove from humanity Islam itself. The sheiks and mullahs who lord it over the deluded masses of Muslims can use other means of wielding power. Nobody needs Islam. It has been a demonic hell bent path to power; its not true, and it has been a catastrophic disaster for the world. Lets put on our big boy pants and face the facts; then go out and save the world.
They will cry/ whine to the U seless N utcases..
Finally the truth emerges. This was a hoax report.
A ‘probing attack’ by a different vehicle?
“What would be the international reaction if...?”
Realistically war should be all or nothing, and the only way to guarantee a win is peace through strength. Strong allies like Israel are part of it, but Israel won't get stronger with constant war. Wars need to end or never start, then comes the real work of strengthening the military along with the economy.
