Second Sunday?
>The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports
This is an excellent tactic, good thinking. Now Iran will feel the same pain that they have been imposing on others. When they agree to free movement then they will be permitted. This is an exacting cost for their terrorism. Mind you, should they shoot at another tanker, then we should target all of their energy infrastructure. An eye for eye. Something for something and nothing for nothing.
Bingo. They must realize that their only bargaining chip is to not do terrorism of some kind. They were saved once by the Al Mahdi and were given a chance to end hostilities. Logical thinking, what is the use of having a nuclear weapon, if they used it, they would be annihilated by the world,, it is therefor just a terrorism tactic, albeit a costly one.
Brilliant President Trump, WrWY. The Iranians should not complain about mistrust, after all, they told Kushner and Whitaker that they ave enough enriched uranium to make 10-11 nuclear bombs. That is what caused Israel to target the Ayatollah and was a terroristic tactic that caused urgency. They are to blame also for the mistrust. Do they not get that? Their terrorist tactic caused an alarm of imminent danger that got their leader assassinated. What was America supposed to do at that point? We were looking for 10 days, their comment caused the mistrust too. Stop blaming the US for mistrust, we always do what we say and honor our commitments. Stop with the terror tactics, the war is due to that specific comment.
Watch President Trump get 100% of everything he asked for. Watch how one oil vessel that was hit, was a trap to capture Iranian radar signals only to be destroyed by harm missiles, as we turned their own drones against them overriding their own software. We held back until they crossed a line by targeting one of our jets. Trust President Trump and the US Military, they work at many levels higher, with layered approach that can be put into motion at will. Iran couldn't stop the Kharg Island second tapping, and we could have annihilated them. President Trump made a good faith gesture by refraining, hope they come to their senses.
I hope they know that this time they will be hit harder then before as the USS Ford is going back, and another strike group is on the way. If they do not come to a deal, the IRCG will start to lose personnel not just the leadership. We do not want to see that happen, but it will, because we would have to go in and grab the uranium by force. So force will be used to decimate any resistance. They are not too wise. We are not going to fight a gruond war, we would go in after annihation of ground forces by air.
This video explains the mine clearing that the US doing right now in the Straits. Apparently, Iran put magnetic mines that float on the current and will adhere to any metal hull and detonate either at an interval or triggered. Iran has no clue where they are now, they claim. This is the biggest threat right now to vessels.
