Opening the straight not hard at all

[justoffal]

Just a matter of resolve....

An Iranian tanker has just made it through on its way to China.

Sink it!

Not hard, one maybe two torpedoes.

Don't want to sink it? Knock off the rudder and propeller.

Iran is not the only country that can close the straight.

If no one else gets through neither do the Iraian ships.

This is not at all hard.

The word is "strait" because it is not straight.

Knock off the rudder and propeller? Easy peasy. Tell us how!

Trump gets all the gas he wants free in Airforce one, two, three, 4, Pete's got all the money he needs too. Kash, Noem, Lobster and steak. Billions of dollars. They have the resolve. And the American people will suffer for Trump. We are suffering because of tariffs and now his war.

We lost jobs in December and February. That's pretty close to being a recession.

We blamed biden because supply chain disruptions and the ukraine war drove gas prices up. Now it is Trump's fault gas prices are even higher than they were then.

The March 2026 U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran triggered the largest disruption in the history of the Strait of Hormuz, halting nearly all maritime traffic and halting approximately 20% of global oil supply. Trump did this.

So, how long have you hated American troops?

.

If all of those countries who get their oil because it comes through the Strait would send a little military help........

[Seymour Flops]

Mining the Strait is an act of war against all countries who use it or rely on it.

Mk48 torpedo, set for passive homing, from directly astern.

 

[Chuz Life]

I think the U.S. should place a giant copy of the Quran on the flightdeck of one of the carriers and make sure it can be seen from the Iranian shore.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Correct. The USN need only declare a blockade and, if someone tries to tun it, fire on one ship.

We gotta stop playing around with their unauthorized take over of these waters

Drivel
Here are the top line reasons Why , as outlined a few days ago by Moon over Alabama

Its open water width. over a length of some 100+ kilometer, is only about 40 kilometer. Its shipping lanes for large vessels are narrow and just 20 kilometer off the coast of Iran.


The usual way for a navy to secure such a passage would be to launch a severe bombing campaign to eliminate all radar and missile positions along the coastline. Only after such a campaign would attempts be made to pass the strait.

But the Iranian landscape along the coast is largely mountainous. There are many shelters to hide anti-ship missiles or drones. Ships passing the Strait can be seen by the naked eye (or through infrared devices during night time.) A swarm of medium range drones would overwhelm the air-defenses of any Navy escort trying to help tankers to pass through the strait. And that is before Iran decides to drop mines into the strait’s waters.
Hoping for escorts to help one to pass the Strait is like hiring body guards when your enemy is known to be a long range snipers. A hopeless endeavor.

I am sure that the Navy will find ways to let Trump know how futile the escorts would be.

Or sail our ships close on either side of the Iranian tanker. For every one of theirs that leaves two of ours goes through.

You should read the info in Post 12 , then delete your post before the laughter becomes deafening .

I love our American troops. I hear Trump's decision has also cost the lives of 13. Or is it more because I'm not watching the news constantly and I doubt Pete is telling the truth on that anyways.

 

[sealybobo]

Name the lie then. Should be easy. But give it an explanation. Provide links to back up your absurd claims. I want to see your alternative facts.

You just whined about them getting steak and lobster while deployed forward and then say you love our troops?

I say you are a liar.

You're concern about spending is laughable at best.

No problem. Just keep an Iranian ship between us and the Iranian coast. Also, it's doubtful that Iran will mine the strait as it needs its own tankers to get through.

OMG, so if I am not FOR Pete Hegseth spending up record amounts of our money on use it or lose it $ then I don't love the troops.

You are too much.

Name ONE ******* adminiistration and/or Government agency that has NOT practiced the use it or lose it policy.

When I served, 1981 to 1990, that was the Standard Operating Procedure for every unit across the entire service, not just Air Forcce but ALL services.

You are a clown.
