Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

So the failed attack in Michigan, the guy was Lebanese, how much we want to bet it's Iran-linked?

No. Even if you built one with sufficient seakeeping not to sink in ocean waters, the small size limits the endurance of such a vessel. For longer ranges you need a larger ship so you have enough fuel and food for the crew and other such things.

So then how did they get them to the South Pacific?
 
PT boat crew's kleptomania had them "borrowing" and installing everything from 20mm and 40mm autocannons, mortars, recoilless rifles, rocket launchers and whatever else they can walked and or cart off with.
That's the military in general. Never ask where the submarines got most of their icecream machines.
But yeah I don't blame them. PT boats *sound* like a cushy gig. You're on a small boat with a small group of other dudes and you never go far from shore, back in your bunk on dry land almost every night, etc. But in reality they were expendable af and lost in large numbers. Glass cannons. Well, wood cannons.

So then how did they get them to the South Pacific?

Like anything else smaller than a destroyer escort that was used all over the world: Shipped on bigger boats.

For my relative, it was a PT boat or a Navy Airman.

His mother was less than pleased. She wanted him on an aircraft carrier or battleship.

Nah, liberty ships. Those things shipped everything from beans to bullets to tanks to pt boats.
 
The Strait is incredibly easy to sabotage if you can't hold the people in line if you go to war with Iran then you can't hold the people in line. Simple as. Trump failed.
so you are upset that a US president actually did something? When the previous presidents in the past few decades either funded Iran or severely cut coast guard budget.
Cope and seethe.
 

No idea how to save videos from twatter...but here's a drone making an oil storage tank in Bahrain go pop.

I'm kinda bothered by the blinking and body language.
Check out the reporters face at ~14 seconds.
So if this gets russia around oil sanctions, are they incentivized to help Iran keep the strait closed on the D/L?
Absolutely. Why wouldn't they? The arms they send will pay for themselves thanks to higher oil prices. It's even better than China. Instead of doing nothing, they make a profit.
 
The Ayatollah kidnapped and held people hostage from the American embassy in Tehran the literal day they got into power.
On top of all the other shit since then.
So? That guy got already killed, mission accomplished hurrah? Embassy people are literal spies and that is the risk they take with their lavish benefits. Don't really get your point here

Not really, I just think that is a Dumb Ass move as it is a Major Energy transport route.
