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

Axios, so the source is shaky at best, but it sounds like Cooper presented a plan on Thursday to actually do naval escorts, but Trump amended it to the current one.
I don't know why he seems so hesitant to just go all the way right now (maybe he doesn't want to risk the embarrassment of them actually managing to strike a blow on one of our warships, at least while markets are open), but it's clear his patience is running thin.

IRGC Navy in a VHF radio broadcast to mariners:

Attention all vessels, attention all vessels. If you cross into the Strait of Hormuz without permission from the Islamic Republic of Iran, you will be targeted and destroyed

The UAE confirms that Iran struck one of its oil tankers with 2 drones after it tried to pass the Strait of Hormuz


Iran's IRGC released a map outlining a "controlled zone" in the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian armed forces oversight.️ The southern boundary runs between Kuh Mobarak in Iran and an area south of Fujairah, UAE, while the western boundary extends from the end of Qeshm Island to Umm Al Quwain. It appears Iran has constructed a second gate.

CENTCOM:

Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, flew over regional waters in and near the Strait of Hormuz in an AH-64 Apache helicopter, May 3, on the eve of U.S. military support for Project Freedom.

He interacted with U.S. Army Soldiers after visiting with Sailors and Marines on Saturday aboard two U.S. Navy warships patrolling the Arabian Sea.

ROE in the Strait is to shoot anything that looks aggressive.


Following reports of an Iranian strike on a U.S. Navy vessel, a U.S. MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone operating over the Persian Gulf reportedly went dark on public tracking systems, likely disabling its transponder.

At the same time, two U.S. P-8 maritime patrol aircraft were reportedly deployed to support naval assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and USS Tripoli in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea.

These fucking retards really want to keep poking that bear, huh?

Yeah, it's really starting to feel like this whole Project Freedom thing is just to give us an excuse to escalate while blaming it on Iran.
It would explain why Trump kept emphasising how this was a "goodwill operation on Iran's behalf," as there's no fucking way they would be able to help themselves from immediately firing at shit even when he gives them an out to claim they're totally willing to act reasonably.

Cool, if Oman's territorial waters rights have no validity, neither do Iran's

CENTCOM says we've already guided two American tankers through the Strait since the operation began.

I'm waiting on companies to hire maritime security and attempt to run the strait. See what happens when the fast attack boats meet some resistance because for now it sort of just seems like a stalemate and I don't think they'd actually destroy a vessel that wasn't American or Israeli.

 

[autistic dog]

The US Navy should just agree with Iran's statements that they violated the ceasefire and bomb the power plants.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

We have three KC-46s, one KC-135, and a P-8 operating in the Gulf right now. All but one of the tankers are at refueling altitude.

your point here would only really work if not for the fact they are just as prone to shooting at unrelated shit, not focusing on military assets.

Attacking the UAE's civilian infrastructure doesn't affect American military bases.
