US airstrikes hit tankers trying to break blockade of Iranian ports, official says

The U.S. military carried out airstrikes Friday on several tankers trying to run the blockade on Iranian ports, a U.S. official told Fox News.

The official said “these were Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC)... massive, empty ships trying to make it back to Iran” and that they “attempted to run the blockade.”

The official added that several tankers were hit.

These empty oil tankers could have been trying to make it back to Iran to buy more time for oil storage.

Foundation for Defense of Democracies senior fellow Miad Maleki told Fox News earlier this week that Iran only has 13 days worth of traditional oil storage, but has been buying more time using empty oil tankers for storage.

“They have a few days of the onshore storage capacity left, and then another 30 to 45 days of tankers to fill up,” Maleki said.

Iran has demonstrated that with its missiles, drones and small boats, it still has the capability to disrupt traffic through the strait of hormuz despite the American military presence. Underscores the grim fact that if this war is to be concluded satisfactorily ( mullah regime change and the securing of the enriched uranium) it cannot be done solely with air and sea power. It will take hard ground fighting and more extensive logistics. If this inconclusive situation continues and the mullah regime survives, the 9/11 duplicitous Saudis and the Gulf states will make their own accomadations with Iran. History and the American people will rightly regard this war a failure. What is worse, the demonic, America hating Democrats will ride the backlash to power. Then the American people and the American nation will really suffer.

Its funny. I would bet 99% of the people in the country understands what that means.

I will also bet that 99% of insane idiots will A) Make a comment about love not meaning hitting someone; B) If this is how he shows “love” he is deranged.

It must be tiring to be that upset all of the time.

I have to complete faith in President Trump and our War Department to do whatever they deem as necessary to squelch these animals that run Iran. I have no empathy but for the multitudes of civilians who will endure even more hardship while this process comes to its inevitable conclusion. Finish this so we can turn onto the muzzies within our own borders. I loathe to no end islam and its followers.

Since these empty tankers are frozen at anchor in the Strait, the crazy Islamist Iranians will dump the oil into the Persian Gulf and try to blame President Trump for the pollution horror.

The U.S. Navy should move some empty American tankers into the scene and demand that they be filled with the excess oil. Any sale of the oil will go to the American Treasury and pay down a bit of this Iranian intransigence.
